Review

Check what helped

Try a related task with less prompting. Use the result to decide what to practise next.

What helps you start and stay with a task?

Agree a visible goal, suitable task length and how to use breaks or changes of activity. Review what actually helps rather than impose a fixed routine.

Bring a recent piece of work and explain what the task felt like. The tutor can use this alongside a short discussion to agree a starting point. The plan should respond to the individual, not rely on a label.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a Maths tutor with ADHD experience?

Ask about experience at iGCSE, the kinds of adjustments they have used and how they would approach your current difficulty. Reported experience does not by itself establish a specialist qualification. A free 15-minute introduction gives you time to discuss the fit.

Can lessons follow my exam board and school work?

Share your board, specification and current topics before booking. For English Literature, include the set texts. Your tutor should confirm that they can support that course and any relevant assessment options.

Will tutoring arrange extra time or other exam adjustments?

No. Discuss assessment arrangements with your school or exam centre. A strategy or tool used in tuition is not automatically permitted in an examination.

What should we practise between lessons?

Agree one achievable task linked to the lesson, such as the example above. Bring back the working, including any point of confusion, so feedback can guide the next step. The amount of practice should fit the learner.
