Supporting a Student with ADHD

Supporting a child with ADHD at school can feel confusing and overwhelming—especially when it seems like they’re trying, but still struggling. It isn’t a matter of trying harder, and it’s certainly not laziness—it’s simply the way their brains have developed. This includes both attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other generalised learning disabilities that can affect a child’s ability to thrive in traditional classroom settings.

They may be easily distracted, especially in busy or noisy environments. Sometimes, instructions from the teacher are too long or overwhelming, making it tricky to remember and follow through. Others may struggle with executive functioning—something common in students with ADHD—like planning, organising, or completing tasks.

These are just some of the challenges they may face. And as a result, it’s easy for them to miss key information in class. When this happens—especially in small bits over time—it can quietly create gaps in their learning. These learning gaps can make it harder for children to keep up, as new concepts at school often build on ones they didn’t fully grasp.

How Kinetic Education Supports Children with ADHD

At Kinetic Education, we make learning feel less overwhelming—and more manageable. With short, personalised lessons and real tutor guidance, we help turn everyday challenges into small wins that build confidence.

Through our online Maths Wiz and English Wiz platforms, your child follows a personalised plan tailored to their needs. With flexible pacing, visual prompts, and problem solving strategies to support focus and motivation, they can learn in a way that suits them best—and feel proud of their progress. Our ADHD tutoring services are built around online tutoring sessions that are engaging, consistent, and adapted for various learning styles.

Struggling to focus

What this can look like:

Your child may lose concentration quickly, especially during longer tasks or when instructions aren’t clear. They might rush through activities or disengage before finishing the task.

ADHD tutoring with multisensory instruction

How we help:

We keep sessions short—just 20 minutes—so your child can start and finish without feeling overwhelmed. Our clear, step-by-step lessons are supported by a multisensory approach (visuals, audio, animations), interactive learning tools, and immediate feedback—designed to boost engagement and reinforce understanding in real time. Some children benefit from even shorter tutoring sessions—so we encourage families to break lessons into smaller chunks when needed. Two 10-minute bursts might work better than one longer stretch. Your dedicated tutor will guide you through this process to ensure a positive learning environment.

Inconsistent academic performance

What this can look like:

Even with effort, your child’s progress may feel slow or unpredictable. Some days things come easily—other days feel harder, and it’s difficult to see steady improvement.

ADHD tutors personalise learning programs

How we help:

Our free initial assessment identifies any gaps in your child’s academic skills. From there, we build a personalised learning plan that targets what they need most using explicit instruction—supporting consistent growth at their own pace. This tailored tutoring process is especially helpful for ADHD students and other children with learning difficulties.

Low academic confidence

What this can look like:

Your child may avoid certain tasks, say things like “I’m not good at this,” or need reassurance before getting started. Over time, this can affect how they see themselves as learners.

ADHD tutoring helping children develop resilience and confidence

How we help:

We set clear, achievable learning goals to reduce overwhelm and help your child feel capable. With real-time feedback and a points-based reward system, your child sees their progress in action—building motivation and self-belief with every win. We focus on effort just as much as outcomes. Whether your child finishes a lesson or simply tries something new, that progress is worth celebrating. This use of positive reinforcement is key for helping children develop resilience and confidence.

Difficulty with instructions

What this can look like:

Your child may struggle to follow multi-step or verbal instructions. They might ask for help often—not because they’re not paying attention, but because the information wasn’t delivered in a way they understand.

Extra support is available

How we help:

Instructions are broken down clearly using visual supports, audio prompts, and step-by-step guidance. If your child needs extra support, their tutor can walk them through tasks in real time using screen share—offering one-on-one guidance that builds understanding without adding stress. Our trained tutors use practical strategies to help students stay on track.

Tired, overwhelmed, or low executive function after school

What this can look like:

After a full school day, your child may feel drained or find it hard to get started on more learning. Some children need more flexibility in when and how they learn—and fixed times can add unnecessary pressure.

There’s no rigid program schedule for children with ADHD

How we help:

Our learning is flexible. Your child can log in when it suits them—before school, after dinner, or in short bursts across the week. There’s no rigid schedule—just support that works with their rhythm. This home tutoring format offers an enhanced learning experience for children who need flexible and supportive environments.

Previous support hasn’t been the right fit

What this can look like:

Support in the past may not have matched your child’s needs, pace, or learning style—leaving them feeling frustrated or disheartened.

ADHD tutoring with 1-1 support

How we help:

We adapt to how children with ADHD learn best. With short sessions, personalised strategies, scaffolded learning, one-on-one ADHD tutoring support, and real rewards, we create a tutoring experience that truly fits. Our inclusive education approach ensures all students, including those with special education needs, receive the right support.

Why Families Trust Us to Support Their Child with ADHD

  • Personalised learning that meets your child where they’re at

    Every child begins with an assessment so we can understand what they’ve missed and what they’re ready for. From there, we build a tailored plan focused on filling gaps and moving forward with confidence.

  • Short, focused lessons that reduce overwhelm

    Our 20-minute online tutoring sessions make it easier for your child to stay focused and complete tasks confidently.

  • Flexible learning that fits your family

    Learning can happen anytime—before school, after dinner, weekends—in small bursts throughout the week. There’s no rigid timetable—just progress at a pace that works.

  • Real tutor support, when it’s needed

    Whether your child is stuck or simply needs encouragement, their tutor is there to support them. Help is available when it’s needed, without added pressure. Our experienced tutors are attentive to signs that something’s too hard—or too easy—and can adjust accordingly.

  • Multisensory tools that support engagement

    Our ADHD tutoring programs use animations, audio prompts, step-by-step guides, and a variety of ways for your child to respond—so they can learn in the way that makes the most sense to them.

  • Motivation through real rewards

    Our point system keeps children engaged by turning effort into something they can be proud of—earning points they can exchange for real rewards along the way.

  • Confidence through progress, not pressure

    We focus on every win, consistent growth, and learning that feels achievable. The result? Children with ADHD who have strong self-belief in their own abilities.

  • Weekly reports that keep you in the loop

    Each week, you'll receive a clear summary of your child's progress—what they’ve completed, what they’re working on next, and how they’re tracking overall.

Ready to Support Your Child’s Learning?

You’ve probably tried a few different tutoring services already for your child. Maybe nothing has felt quite right.

We’re here to change that. Take our free assessment, and we’ll show you exactly how we support students with ADHD—with flexible online tutoring, short lessons, and tutor support that actually works.

Common Questions About Our ADHD Tutoring Learning Support 

My child has trouble focusing—will they struggle with learning on a screen?

It’s a valid concern, and many parents feel the same way at first. But unlike long school days or in-person sessions, our online lessons are short, engaging, and built to support focus—not test it. Children only need to concentrate for around 20 minutes at a time. That’s much more manageable than a full hour sitting with a tutor. Many children actually feel less pressure this way and are more willing to give it a go.

Is in-person tutoring better for ADHD?

Not always. In-person tutoring can sometimes feel overwhelming after a full day at school—especially when it’s another long session at a set time. Our flexible approach allows your child to learn when they are ready, and at their own pace. They can log in when it works best for them and take breaks when they need to. That kind of flexibility can make a big difference.

How will my ADHD child learn with Kinetic Education?

Your child starts with a short assessment so we can understand what they’ve missed and what they’re ready for. From there, they get a personalised learning plan with 20-minute sessions they complete at home, when it works for them. Lessons include animations, audio prompts, step-by-step instructions, and interactive activities—making it easier to stay engaged and understand what’s being taught.

What if they need help online mid-lesson?

Every lesson has built-in hints, audio instructions, and visual guidance. But if your child is still unsure, they can reach out to a tutor—who can even jump in and demonstrate things using screen sharing. We never leave children stuck.

Will this work if my child is highly distracted or avoids schoolwork?

We’ve designed everything with that in mind. The key is that learning isn’t forced—it happens in short bursts, with clear goals and rewards that keep motivation going. When children feel capable and in control, they're more likely to stay engaged.

Will I get updates on how my child is going?

Yes. Each week, you’ll receive a clear progress overview that shows what your child has completed, how they’re tracking, and what they’re working on next. It helps you stay informed without needing to oversee every lesson. And if you want more detail, your tutor is ready to help.

What if we’ve tried other tutoring before and it didn’t work?

We hear this a lot. Many traditional approaches don’t suit children with ADHD because they expect children to fit a rigid routine, and often don’t target exactly what your child needs. We do the opposite—our support adapts to your child. That’s why so many families see progress where others haven’t.

What if my child gets frustrated easily or gives up when things feel hard?

We get it—many children with ADHD have experienced learning environments that feel high-pressure or overly critical. That’s not what we do here. Our lessons are designed to be non-judgemental, low-pressure, and encouraging. Children can go at their own pace, take breaks, and try again without fear of “getting it wrong.” We focus on small wins, real progress, and helping your child feel proud of what they can do.


So many happy families
