Tutoring That Finally Fits How ADHD Learners Think

At Positive Kids, we specialize exclusively in supporting children with ADHD and attention-based learning challenges. Traditional tutoring methods—long explanations, multi-step instructions, repetitive drills—often fail ADHD learners because they do not align with how their brains process information.

That is why we built something different — StepLight Learning™, a trademarked, research-driven tutoring system created specifically for the ADHD brain.

  • It is not tutoring “with accommodations.”
  • It is tutoring designed from the ground up for neurodivergent learners.

Why Traditional Tutors Don’t Work for ADHD Students

Most tutors—even excellent ones—lack training in:

  • ADHD neurobiology
  • Executive functioning weaknesses
  • Emotional regulation challenges
  • Working memory overload
  • Time blindness
  • Dopamine-driven motivation cycles

Without this knowledge, the tutoring experience feels like:

  • Too many steps
  • Too much talking
  • Too many corrections
  • Too much pressure
  • Not enough engagement

This often leads to:

Frustration

Shutdowns

Avoidance

Declining confidence

Battles at home

Your child doesn’t need a tutor who teaches harder.
They need a tutor who teaches smarter.
