Finding common language to better describe our experience instead of it always being a deficit - I really like this word. Sure I lose interest in stuff quickly, I drop careers, studies and really got no idea what will catch my attention next but what I do know is that I know _a lot_ about any sub-niche my hyper fixation has taken fancy to. It might not be something I can claim academic record or would bother to write a thesis about - but I could... and that is how my mind works. I think we should claim words like this that gives power and value to the part that ADHD does have to play as integral parts of our identity. I am not 'broken', many parts of myself I do not want to fix, I wouldn't even wish it if I lived in a world that had granted me language for my own autonomy!

A casual 6 months later... our socials are active again! 😆

The Word Catcher business as a whole has been growing very steadily, and this branch has always been the most self-sustaining one (which is amazing, and thank you to all our supporters).

The big change to this side of things is that we do have two other incredible tutors on board. Where Tara has formal tertiary level experience, as well as years of tutoring students from 10 years old to 50 years old, Helen and James bring a wealth of training and experience that also now cover all levels of primary school.

Stay tuned! We'll be back with as much edutaining content that we can publish, around our tutoring work with our wonderful students.

Hello, everyone!

I have been a bit quiet on this channel as we have all been absolutely swamped.

We have open spots for tutoring with Helen and James - send us a message to tee up a good time!

We also do small group tutoring :)

Happy studying, Perth!

Like many of you, I'm seeing what's unfolding in the Ukraine in disbelief and horror. I'm not sure what each of us can do to make a difference - but I know I have to try something, anything.

For now, all I can do is share this link to encourage donations to NGO's and relief organisations via the UN crisis relief fund.

I'm going to keep thinking about what more I can do, and I hope you do, too 💗

Ukraine Humanitarian Fund - Help people in need when crisis strikes United Nations Crisis Relief connects people who care to people in crisis, providing support where it matters most.

Sending you all the most heartfelt Seasons Greetings, no matter where you are and how you celebrate the festive season 💗

With much love,

Team Word Catcher
