Studying in a neurotypical world can be challenging, academic mentoring helps the student discover what works for them individually. At The ADHD Teacher, we offer a mentoring service which can be provided separately or in conjunction with coaching.
While coaching facilitates learning and development through questioning, mentoring draws on experience and offers practical suggestions and guidance. Drawing on years of experience in education, the mentoring service provides a more personalised, relationship-based approach which is ideal for students who need consistent encouragement, understanding, and tailored support.
Mentoring is about empowering the individual with knowledge and skills so they can move forward with confidence.
Here are just some examples of how mentoring can help:
Understanding self-motivation
Planning effectively
Accountability - regular check-ins to monitor progress and make adjustments
Time management
Revision strategies and resources
Guidance on research and essay writing
Setting academic goals and creating study plans
