Find Your Local Sylvan CenterWhy children with ADHD benefit from individualized tutoring.
Traditional classrooms move at a single pace with a single approach. For students with ADHD, that structure can make it hard to demonstrate what they actually know. Attention, organization, and follow-through are skills that can be strengthened with the right academic environment.
Sylvan’s certified tutors work one-on-one and in small groups, creating a focused, structured setting where students can build academic skills without the distractions of a traditional classroom.
Tutoring programs designed around your child.
Sylvan offers personalized academic support across reading, math, study skills, and executive function coaching. Every student starts with a skills assessment so instruction begins exactly where your child needs it most.

My son was getting D’s in school and was just diagnosed with ADHD. After a year at Sylvan, he was getting B’s and his confidence was sky high.
My son has ADHD and he struggles with planning and time management. Since he started the study skills program at Sylvan, he is much better organized. He is able to set goals for himself and often able to stay on tasks. His focus has improved tremendously.
My daughter struggles with Dyslexia and ADHD and had been behind in school since Kindergarten. Thanks to Sylvan she is a more confident and happy 5th grader.
In just 3 months, my son went from being over a year behind in math to functioning at and even above his grade level. His confidence has improved and he now gets A’s instead of F’s. Rose and Deanna were both patient and kind, even though some days my ADHD-diagnosed son was quite a handful!
My 6-year-old daughter with ADHD was getting so frustrated from being behind that she was beginning to dislike school, but Sylvan has given her confidence and her attitude toward school is changing with it! I taught middle school for 29 years. Take it from a teacher: this is a great program.
Sylvan provides a nurturing environment for all kinds of learners. The teachers are very seasoned and understand issues of ASD and ADHD. My son Scott has been with Sylvan since 4th grade. He is now a senior in high school.
My son who has ADHD was fully engaged during his JavaScript Coding Camp the entire time. The teacher was patient, answered all questions, and went above and beyond to help my son while coding.
Sylvan caters to a child’s individual learning needs, partnered with professional teachers and a clean, safe, and fun learning environment. That makes Sylvan perfect for my autistic/ADHD son!
Having sons with ADHD, they have been great working with me and understanding. They truly understand hard times and are very caring. My youngest is making huge strides and he also loves going to tutoring. I highly recommend this place for any kids with special needs.
The staff at Sylvan are very professional and thorough. My 6-year-old daughter with ADHD was getting so frustrated from being behind, but Sylvan has given her confidence and her attitude toward school is changing. It is definitely not a one size fits all, but a very specialized educational program.
