How Tuition Transforms Learning for Kids with ADHD
I work with many bright students who face learning challenges—not because of a lack of ability, but because of how their brains process information. One such student came to us for support with mathematics. From the very first session, it was clear to me that she showed signs of inattentive-type ADHD.
Â
Her parents were initially hesitant about medication, and instead focused on tutoring and practice. Despite her efforts, she continued to struggle—scoring below 10 out of 40 on her math tests. It was frustrating for her and heartbreaking for her family.
Eventually, the parents agreed to try medication. Just three weeks after starting treatment, her next assessment showed a remarkable improvement: 29 out of 40. The change was dramatic—not because she suddenly became better at math, but because her brain was finally able to focus long enough to show what she had learned.

The key takeaway?
Medication isn’t magic. It doesn’t replace hard work, practice, or quality instruction. But what it does do is level the playing field. It gives students with ADHD the same starting conditions as their peers—so they can focus, retain, and apply what they’ve learned.
