A summer of math
that meets an
ADHD brain where it is.
ADHD kids lose more math over the summer than their peers - and gain the most from the one format school can't run: one-on-one, self-paced, adapted to how your kid is paying attention that day.
Twelve focused weeks. 3rd grade through college-level math. Built for kids whose attention, executive function, or pacing makes group classes a fight.
A weekly session with your tutor. Cancel any week, no annual commitment.

Three reasons summer is the rare window where the math can actually move - and the executive-function skills underneath it can get coached, not just expected.
A 25-kid classroom expects sustained, undivided attention from the same kid for the same hour every day. When that's not how your kid's brain works, the result isn't 'not trying' - it's the wrong format. Summer is the chance to swap formats.
Planning, working memory, holding steps in order, finishing what you started - schools assume kids walk in with these. ADHD makes each one slower to land. A summer of one-on-one time is when those skills can actually get coached, not just expected.
Kids lose around 30% of their math skills over a typical summer - more for kids whose habits depend on external structure. And the fall starts back with the same group-class format that was already the problem. Three months can decide a lot.
What twelve weeks can do.
Four students from this past spring. Growth ran two-and-a-half to five times the typical pace - the kind of trajectory that's almost impossible to produce in a group class, and especially for kids whose attention and pacing don't fit the default.
By Grade 9, typical seasonal growth slows to a crawl. This student moved from the 70th to the 73rd percentile in a single spring - two-and-a-half times the typical pace, in the window where most students barely budge.
Started the spring below grade-level math. Twelve weeks of weekly sessions, working through what was actually broken instead of marching through what came next. Finished the season above grade level - the biggest gain of the group.
Started at the 90th percentile, finished at the 96th - more than two-and-a-half times faster than the typical Grade 4 student. The kind of acceleration kids almost never get in a group setting.
Entered the spring at the 99th percentile and stayed there - a flat line at the top of the parent-portal chart all season. Underneath, growth ran nearly three times the typical pace.
Four things every summer student gets.
The Recess Academy approach to math, run as a focused summer program - mastery-based, paced to the kid, taught by a tutor who knows how to coach an ADHD brain through it.
Your kid has the tutor's full attention for the whole session - and the tutor adjusts to where your kid's focus actually is that day, instead of marching a group through a fixed plan.
Adaptive, self-paced math shows the biggest effects in kids with attention and pacing differences. We work at the depth and speed your kid is actually ready for - not the curriculum default.
Someone who can see the pattern instead of the missed problem - who knows when to break a session, when to push, and how to coach the executive-function skills that make the math stick.
A weekly recap of what your child worked on, where they've grown, and what comes next - so the rest of the summer at home can build on what's happening in session, instead of guessing at progress.
One session a week. Paced to the kid, not the clock.
Weekly sessions on Open School, with light practice between sessions and a parent recap that keeps you in the loop without effort.
Per week. One 60-minute session with your tutor. Cancel any week, no annual commitment.
Set up a summer callLive with a Recess tutor on Open School. We work through the math your child is actually stuck on, build the next piece, and adapt the pace to the day - not a stopwatch.
Breaks when they're needed. Switching activities when focus drops. The session is paced to the kid in front of us, not a script - which is the whole reason 1:1 works for ADHD kids in the first place.
What we worked on, where they've improved, and what's next. So you're not guessing at progress, and the conversation at the kitchen table has somewhere to land.
Twelve weeks your kid can actually finish.
Summer goes fast. Starting in the first week or two gives your kid enough sessions for the math to actually move - and gives the tutor enough time to see how your kid works before September starts back up.
