Lock In Hour
Lock In Hour
Body doubling means working alongside someone else who isn't helping, just present. It's a go-to strategy in the ADHD and executive function world for getting started and staying on task. The presence of another person gives students the structure and accountability their own executive function doesn't always provide.

How the hour runs
Sixty minutes, a capped group, one coach running the room. The structure is the same in person and on Google Meet. The coach keeps everyone accountable and on track; this is not tutoring.
Arrive and settle0–5 min
Students check in and put phones and other non-work devices away before the hour starts. Virtual students join the call and confirm their goal in the chat.

Questions families ask
Still unsure about something? Send us a note and we will answer it.
Is this tutoring?
No. The coach runs the room and keeps everyone accountable: they check that each student has a goal, watch for anyone drifting, and give a nudge or a redirect when someone is stuck. They do not teach the material or do the work. Students bring whatever they already need to get done.
Who is it for?
Middle school, high school, and college students. Each session is set for one age group, so you book the one that matches your student. College sessions are always on Google Meet.
How do I choose between in person and virtual?
You do not choose separately. Each session is either in person or on Google Meet, and that is shown on the session itself. Filter the list by format if you only want one. A credit is a credit: it books either kind for the same price.
What does my student need to bring?
Their own work, and a device if the work needs one. Phones and other non-work devices go away before the hour starts. On Google Meet, cameras stay on and mics stay muted.
Do I buy first or book first?
Either works. You can pick a session and pay in the same step, with credits you already have or by buying a single session, a pack, or a membership right there. Or you can buy a pack or membership ahead of time without choosing a session, and book whenever you are ready.
Can I buy sessions for my student and let them book later?
Yes. Create an account, add your student, and choose Buy sessions ahead. The credits sit on your student's account until they are used, and you can book for them later, or they can book themselves if they have their own login. Packs expire one month from the purchase date and a membership bills monthly from the day it starts, so buy close to when they will start using them.
Can one pack cover both of my kids?
No. Credits belong to the student they were bought for, so each student needs their own. You can keep more than one student on the same account and choose between them when you book.
What if we need to cancel?
Cancel at least 8 hours before the session and the credit comes back to the student. Inside 8 hours the credit is used. If a booked student simply does not turn up, the credit is used and a no-show fee applies to members and pack holders.
What happens if a session is full?
Take a waitlist place. It costs nothing and no credit is used to hold it. We email you if a seat opens up, and you book it then.
Can we keep the same time every week?
Yes. After you book a session you can make it a weekly spot, and we book that same hour for your student every week using their credits as each new week opens up. If they are out of credits we email you rather than holding the seat.
Do credits expire?
Packs expire one month from the date you buy them. Membership credits reset every month and do not carry over. Nothing expires mid-session: once a booking is made it stands.
