As a tutor, I try to give curriculum materials that support the child's needs, but also help them to advance in school by aligning to the school's challenging material or supporting the level of struggle that some grade levels carry in Common Core subjects. I tutor to support students in the long-term growth, not for short-term learning . I work to help students see progress in all their hard work practiced & expressed over time. I love to help students see school to be engaging by using materials that help them develop interest in school subjects.

Kei S. says, "Great tutor who is very patient and helpful. Adapts to my needs. There's a little "curse of knowledge" going on--ie, the assumption that I know more than I really do---but we work together to overcome that. Additionally, my tutor suggested some behavioral habits and minor diet changes that actually worked for me. I will be working with my tutor, Fred, again!" Read more

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

Special education tutors help students with mild to severe cognitive, emotional, or physical disabilities. Special needs tutors modify the general education curriculum to meet the child's individual needs and involve themselves in each student's social and behavioral development.

Our tutor, Ms. Devlin, has been the best fit for my grandson! She began working with him from my grandson's 4th grade year through end of his 8th grade year. She is the reason he's currently excelling in independent class and homework as a freshman high school student today. She instilled a strong sense of self confidence in him. She tailored organization skills specifically for him to be able to be successful and grow with. She is patient, and could reach him and relate to his struggles in ways others were unable to. Ms. Devlin is determined to find the best way to communicate with her students which helps instill caring and trust. My grandson has grown and matured greatly working with Ms. Devlin. I very highly recommend her.
