The Center for Teaching and Learning provides tailored programs, resources, coaching, and tutoring services designed specifically for students managing ADHD or learning differences (ADHD/LD).
ADHD/LD Resources
CTL ADHD and LD Support Program
The CTL ADHD and LD Support Program provides eligible students with dedicated academic coaching and tutoring to address their unique educational needs and help them become self-directed learners. Applications are now open for Winter 2024. Students can apply now to let us know what course(s) they would like tutoring for in the Winter 2024 term.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for this program, students must be referred by their Disability Advisor at the Office of Accessible Education (OAE). The Disability Advisor verifies that the student is registered with the OAE with a documented learning disability or ADHD.
Program Requirements
Students will meet regularly with a dedicated Academic Coach. Academic Coaches help students with a wide range of academic skills, such as time management, studying for exams, staying motivated, and overcoming procrastination. During their first meeting with the Academic Coach, the student and the coach will decide how frequently to meet. Students typically meet with their coach weekly.
In addition to Academic Coaching, students will also be assigned a tutor for each course they request tutoring. Tutors offer personalized sessions to meet learners where they are, guide students in navigating course concepts, and share subject specific study strategies. After the initial meeting with the Academic Coach, students receive their personalized weekly tutoring schedule.
To be mindful of the Academic Coach and tutor's schedule, we ask that students cancel or reschedule with at least 24 hours notice, except in cases of medical or disability-related emergencies. Repeated last-minute cancellations or absences from coaching or tutoring sessions may result in a student’s dismissal from the program.
Additional Program Information
As part of the program, students will be able to receive weekly tutoring from a dedicated tutor for up to four hours per week and for up to two classes per quarter. Students are able to request tutoring for any of the courses CTL is currently supporting (full course list below) and we will do our best to fulfill tutoring requests for core and introductory courses in Data Science, Philosophy, and other statistics-based courses in Sociology and Symbolic Systems.
Please note: The last day to be able to request structured weekly tutoring for Winter Quarter is Sunday, February 4 (Week 4). Tutoring requests after Week 4 cannot be matched.
