How Do I Know If My Child Needs Concierge Teaching?"
As a parent, you may have a quiet feeling that something isn’t working—but it’s hard to put your finger on it. Your child might be bright, even passionate about learning, yet they’re falling behind, shutting down, or simply not thriving in their current school setting.
This is where concierge teaching—also called bespoke or personalized education—comes in. But how do you know if it’s right for your child?
Here are some signs to look for.
1. Traditional school isn't meeting your child’s needs
Your child feels lost in the crowd
They need more time, more structure, or more challenge than school can provide
You keep hearing: “They’re doing fine,” but your gut says otherwise
Or worse, your child’s behavior is being misunderstood instead of supported
Concierge education offers what school often can’t: time, patience, and true personalization.
2. They’re neurodiverse—and need a different approach
Many of the students I support are diagnosed with:
ADHD or executive function challenges
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Anxiety or school-based trauma
Dyslexia or other language-based learning differences
These students often know what they want to do—but struggle to organize, initiate, or finish. They may need help building systems, routines, and confidence before they can succeed independently.
3. They're preparing for a transition—and you're worried
Whether it’s:
Starting middle or high school
Moving to a new school
Transitioning to college
These moments require more than academic prep—they require life skills. Concierge support can help your child:
Build routines
Navigate executive demands
Learn to advocate for themselves
Feel capable and ready
4. They’re "twice-exceptional" or gifted—but misunderstood
Gifted children with learning differences often get overlooked in both directions:
Their gifts mask their struggles
Their struggles overshadow their talents
Bespoke teaching recognizes the whole child—not just the part that fits a label.
5. You’re tired of cobbling together support—and still feeling stuck
Maybe you’ve already tried:
A tutor
A therapist
A learning center
A coach
Each helped a little. But you still find yourself coordinating between multiple people, with no one seeing the full picture.
Concierge teaching offers integrated support—academic, emotional, and executive—under one roof, with someone who understands both the school system and the student.
A Different Kind of Help
If any of this resonates, you're not alone. And your child doesn’t need to be “in crisis” to benefit from personalized support. In fact, the earlier you catch the misfit between your child and their learning environment, the better their long-term outcomes.
At Advance AcademicAlly, I work with families to design flexible, relationship-based teaching and coaching that meets your child where they are—and helps them grow into who they can become.
