Reviews for Paterson special education tutors

Kourosh has been an absolute game-changer for my daughter's middle school math journey. Initially, I was hesitant about online tutoring, especially considering my daughter's learning challenges, but Kourosh proved me wrong from the get-go.
Despite my daughter's struggles with dyslexia, Kourosh tailored his teaching approach to suit her unique needs flawlessly. He engages her in one-on-one sessions, leveraging her preferred learning methodt of reading aloud. This individualized attention would have been nearly impossible in a traditional classroom setting.
Kourosh not only teaches the material effectively but also ensures that my daughter retains and comprehends it thoroughly. His method of initiating note-taking reinforces key concepts and helps solidifies her understanding. In just one hour with Kourosh, my daughter learns more than she did in an entire month of class.
I highly recommend Lila Tutoring. Kourosh gets 5 stars.
