Samantha Maloney Diamente, AACC
Manager of Coaching Services & ADHD Coach

Samantha has spent the last nine years as a College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) Certified Master Tutor, homeschool teacher, mentor and curriculum creator. She is an ADDCA Associate Certified Coach and  has completed over 150 classroom hours at the ADD Coach Academy with special training for families impacted by ADHD. Samantha has led English language chat sessions for Raritan Valley Community College, received advanced training in tutoring for college admission essays, and has written various curricula ranging from collegiate-level ESL to primary school speech & composition.

As a teenager, Samantha lived with undiagnosed ADHD, and spent grades 6-12 procrastinating writing essays and dreading timed writing exams. It wasn’t until her first year at Florida State University where she learned a new process of recursive writing that functioned in tandem with her ADHD brain. Fast forward 13 years, to the height of the pandemic, Samantha homeschooled students that went from a state of boredom and ‘online-school-fatigue’ to a place of engagement by balancing lecture, discussion, interactive games, movement, and mindfulness meditation.

With special training in dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and other learning differences, Samantha has developed a deep appreciation for helping individuals uncover new methods of tackling schoolwork. A teen, who feels scattered, overwhelmed, and easily distracted, walks away with customized tools & education to feel empowered, supported, more confident, and ready for the next step after high school. As a team, Samantha and her clients harness their processing & performance strengths, and utilize them as a vehicle to help them to reach their goals. She has no greater joy than when witnessing an “ah-ha” moment, facilitating a breakthrough, or supporting her students with acceptance and encouragement.

Samantha’s mission is simple. She wants all children, teenagers, and young adults to feel empowered and confident both in and out of the classroom. When she’s not facilitating breakthroughs, you can find her instructing yoga, playing with her two dogs, and reading suspense fiction novels.
