I currently attend Northeastern University, and have been working with children for four years. I have been directly involved with teaching kids for three years. I specialize in K-6 math and reading, and I focus on improving motivation and confidence as well as strengthening foundational skills. If kids want to learn, they will pick up concepts quicker, and I achieve this by giving kids levels of agency within the process, e.g. should we learn colors or shapes first today? which helps build ownership in the learning process.

Hey! I am a college student with over 5 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored elementary school, high school, and even college students in a variety of subjects, including math, chemistry, and languages such as Spanish and English. I love seeing the "aha" moment in my students when they finally are able to wrap their heads around a difficult concept. When I teach, I like to use analogies to explain ideas in simpler terms and provide additional perspectives. However, I can adjust my methods based on feedback from the student.

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

What is special education tutoring?

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.

What is disability in special education?

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) identifies 13 disability categories where special education should be provided.

  • Auditory Impairment (AI) – refers to a hearing loss not categorized by deafness.
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – mainly affects a child's social and communication skills and behavior.
  • Deafness – covers kids who can't hear most or all sounds, even with a hearing aid.
  • Deaf-Blindness (DB) – covers kids with both severe hearing and vision loss that requires unique programs.
  • Emotional Disturbance (ED) – various mental health issues such as anxiety disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.
  • Intellectual Disability (ID) – covers disabilities such as below-average intellectual abilities, poor communication or social skills, and poor self care. One example is down syndrome.
  • Multiple Impairments (MI) – a child with multiple disabilities in this list.
  • Orthopedic Impairment (OI) – covers impairments in kids who lack function or ability in their bodies, such as cerebral palsy.
  • Other Health Impairment (OHI) – conditions that limit a child's strength, energy, or alertness such as ADHD.
  • Specific learning disability (SLD) – conditions such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, auditory processing disorder, or nonverbal learning disability.
