An inexpensive and effective service for students who want to complete more homework in less time!

“As a parent of a child with ADHD, I see how difficult it can be for her to concentrate on studying. Rachel [our Homework Partner] increases the amount of time she is focused and eliminates conflict between parent and child. My daughter is excited to spend time with Rachel and is motivated by having a Partner to get her started and offer assistance when she gets stuck. For my child, Homework Partners is our most effective tool.”

-Father of San Francisco high school senior

What is it? Homework Partners is our signature program; it is a proven and inexpensive service that increases student productivity through body doubling. During a typical session, a local and young professional sits beside a student while they complete their personal work, separate to the student’s. It is a service that is ideal for clients who find it challenging to sit down and complete homework in one sitting. In addition to in-person time with a Homework Partner, this service includes oversight from a JST-trained ADHD Coach; the coach will keep an eye on your student’s progress through separate weekly check-ins with the Homework Partner to make sure that things don’t fall through the cracks. Students will typically meet with their Partners for 2 90-minute sessions per week.

How does it work? By working alongside your student and demonstrating appropriate focus, Partners help foster a supportive and encouraging work environment. Also, because Partners are closer in age to the student than their parents, they can leverage their status as “non-parent figures” to motivate students in a new way.:)

What are the typical results? Compared with their performance before using Homework Partners, students complete significantly more homework in the same amount of time. This effect can last beyond the Homework Partners relationship.
