How ADHD can affect learning

ADHD affects attention, working memory and self-regulation. Many children with ADHD are bright and capable, but find it hard to show what they know in a busy classroom.

• Losing focus partway through reading or writing tasks
• Skipping words or lines when reading
• Careless errors in spelling and maths, even with skills they know
• Difficulty following instructions with several steps
• Unfinished work, or rushing to get it done
• Avoiding tasks that need sustained effort

ADHD often occurs alongside dyslexia, dysgraphia or dyscalculia. ADHD is diagnosed by a paediatrician or psychiatrist, often with input from a psychologist. Our role is to teach the literacy and maths skills your child needs, in a way that suits how they learn.

How sessions are adapted

• Short, focused tasks: each session is broken into brief activities with a clear start and finish
• Movement breaks: short, planned breaks on our flexible jumping board or spinning chair, so your child can move, reset and return to focused work
• Predictable routine: the same lesson structure every week, so your child knows what comes next
• Hands-on learning: letter tiles, maths equipment and multisensory activities
• Explicit teaching: one skill at a time, modelled, practised and reviewed
• A calm, one-on-one setting: far fewer distractions than a classroom

Our rooms are set up for children who need to move. The jumping board helps children who feel overcharged release their extra energy, so they can settle back into learning. The spinning chair helps daydreamers wake up and re-engage, and gives the vestibular system, the body’s sense of balance and movement, the input it needs to self-regulate. Short, predictable movement breaks are built into each session, so movement becomes part of learning rather than a distraction from it.

How ADHD tutoring works

1. Discovery call: we talk about your concerns, your child and any previous reports.
2. Assessment: a Literacy Assessment or Maths Assessment shows exactly where your child’s skills are and which gaps to close first.
3. Individual plan: clear goals based on the skills your child needs next.
4. Weekly one-on-one sessions: explicit, structured teaching that builds on each step.
5. Progress feedback: parents who attend sessions receive verbal feedback at the end of each session. A written end-of-term report ($50) is available to share with your child’s school.

What we teach

• Phonics and spelling: linking sounds to spellings, then reading and spelling longer words
• Reading: fluency, vocabulary and comprehension
• Writing: sentences, paragraphs, planning and editing
• Maths: number sense, place value, the four operations and problem solving, Pre-primary to Year 6

Why Mapping the Code

Mapping the Code was developed for neurodivergent children. It slows the pace of phonics and spelling teaching, so each step is mastered before the next one is introduced, and every lesson follows the same routine. Families can continue the same approach at home with our Phonics eBooks.
