Tutoring for ADHD Learners
Flexible SEN tutoring that works with attention, energy, and curiosity
ADHD learners are not short on ability.
They are often overwhelmed by how learning is delivered.
Sitting still and holding focus on demand can drain energy before learning even begins. When that happens often enough, confidence slips and motivation follows.
At SEN Manny Mentor, our SEN tutoring for ADHD learners is built around movement, curiosity, and real connection. We work with attention rather than trying to suppress it. Sessions are active, responsive, and shaped in real time so learning feels engaging instead of exhausting.
This is SEN tutoring that understands the lived experience of ADHD and makes learning feel possible again.
What Tutoring for ADHD Learners Looks Like
Every session starts by reading the learner rather than following a script.
Energy, focus, and regulation change day to day, so our SEN tutors adapt immediately. Some sessions involve movement or hands-on tasks. Others focus on conversation, problem-solving, or creative projects that naturally hold attention.
Learning is built around interests. A learner who loves gaming might explore maths through strategy. Someone drawn to science may learn through experiments rather than worksheets. When curiosity is engaged, focus arrives without being forced.
We also use bespoke audio learning, visual supports, and gamified approaches to make information digestible in the way that learner processes best. For students working towards GCSEs, this can include audio revision, interactive challenges, or breaking content into manageable pieces that stay engaging.
Learners can think aloud, move while working, take pauses, or switch pace without judgement. Tutoring stays active, personal, and genuinely enjoyable.
Why Families Choose SEN Manny Mentor
Families often come to us after being told their child “can’t concentrate” or “needs more discipline,” when what they actually need is a different approach.
Our ADHD tutors bring calm, humour, and lived understanding into sessions. Many have direct experience supporting ADHD learners across SEN schools, home education, and EOTAS provision.
We support regulation alongside learning. Sometimes that means movement. Sometimes it means adjusting pace. Sometimes it means following a spark of interest that opens the door to deeper work.
Parents tell us the shift feels noticeable. Their child becomes more settled. Learning stops being a daily battle. Confidence begins to rebuild.
How Progress Happens
Progress for ADHD learners is rarely about sitting still for longer.
It shows up as staying with a task that once felt impossible, recovering more quickly after frustration, feeling calmer around learning, or taking pride in effort.
Our SEN tutors pay close attention to what supports focus and what disrupts it. Sessions are shaped to protect engagement while gently strengthening follow-through.
Over time, learners begin to understand how their attention works. That self-awareness builds confidence and helps progress hold.
Our SEN Experience
Our team brings experience from SEN schools, home education, and EOTAS settings across London, Hertfordshire, and the UK.
Much of our work involves tutoring ADHD learners who have experienced repeated overwhelm, disengagement, or loss of confidence around learning. We understand the patience, flexibility, and emotional attunement required to support progress without escalating stress.
Every learner is supported within a wider team who reflect together and adapt approaches so tutoring remains steady, thoughtful, and well held.
