No. Our programme is purely educational and cognitive. We do not diagnose ADHD or prescribe medication. Instead, we focus on providing the learner with a "mental toolkit" to manage their own focus and energy levels naturally. We view the ADHD brain not as a deficit, but as a unique way of processing the world that simply requires the right internal navigation tools.

Standard tutoring often focuses on repetition, drills, and "coping" with schoolwork. At Master Dyslexia, we address the root cause of distraction. Instead of just helping a student finish a worksheet, we teach them how to recognize when they are "disoriented" and how to mentally switch their focus back on. We build the foundational life concepts—like Time, Sequence, and Order—that traditional tutoring often skims over.

Absolutely. Many adults in the Wellington region come to me after years of feeling "scattered" or overwhelmed in the workplace. Because the Davis tools are based on self-regulation and logic, they are incredibly effective for adults who want to improve their executive function, time management, and mental clarity without clinical intervention.

The Davis tools are designed to give the learner conscious control over their focus. For these tools to be most effective, the learner needs to be able to "feel" their own natural energy levels. While some clients use our tools alongside medication, many families choose the Davis programme as a natural alternative or as a way to eventually reduce reliance on medication (always in consultation with their GP).

Because this is an intensive, one-to-one programme, most families notice a shift in self-awareness and focus by the end of the first week. However, "Mastery" is a journey. The 7-day intensive provides the tools, and the follow-up work at home ensures those tools become a permanent, natural part of the student's daily life.
