Tutoring for ADHD Students in Christchurch, Years 0-8
What is ADHD?
ADHD stands for Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It’s a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a child’s ability to focus, manage impulses and regulate their energy levels.
In a learning environment, children with ADHD may find it difficult to sit still, follow multi step instructions, stay on task or manage time effectively. These challenges can impact reading, writing, maths and classroom participation. However with the right strategies and support, children with ADHD can thrive academically and build positive learning habits.
Areas where support for ADHD can help
Children with ADHD often face unique challenges in the classroom that can affect their learning and confidence. Some areas where support can make a big difference include:
Difficulty staying focused on tasks, especially over time.
Being easily distracted by sounds, movement or internal thoughts.
Trouble following instructions, particularly when they involve multiple steps.
Forgetfulness with schoolwork, materials or daily routines.
Struggles with organisation, time management and planning.
Finding learning at school overwhelming or frustrating due to attention and regulation challenges.
