Wish I’d come across your post sooner, but I’m an SAT tutor who specializes in working with ADD students.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt, but I think tutoring is vastly superior to classes for ADD students…I wish families found me before investing anything in classes! I’ve taught classes before, and they’re distracting for students who don’t have trouble with concentration. The one-on-one approach allows students to get a personalized prep program, which a class can never do. ADD students also tend to have gaps in their knowledge (i.e. weak spots in geometry for example), which a typical prep class can never address sufficiently.

I’d also strongly recommend your son consider the ACT over the SAT, although if he’s sunk a lot of time into SAT prep, it may be hard for him to change streams. If you’d like to chat, PM me.
