All too often, middle school students with various types of Dyslexia underperform because they lack the necessary study skills to help to achieve their goals.

Students with ADD, ADHD, Surface Dyslexia and similar learning disabilities face an uphill battle in the classroom.

How Do Study Skills Help Middle School Students with ADHD Succeed?
As one of the most common neurodevelopmental conditions affecting students, ADHD is a chronic condition that causes attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. Since students struggle to keep focused in class, mastering subject content material is challenging. Students with ADHD and other learning disabilities often feel embarrassed to raise their hands and ask teachers to revisit a concept. Mindfish’s learning disability tutors can help college-bound students in Boulder overcome this fear by creating a comfortable learning environment through private 1-on-1 instruction. A 1-on-1 tutoring environment gives students in grades 6 through 8 with learning differences complete access to instructors, allowing them to ask questions and revisit complex concepts in a judgment-free environment.
