When you first meet me, I might seem a bit serious, but its because I'm thinking of the next funny thing that we could laugh about. Pressure and tension is something, as a tutor, I look to remove from the process of finishing school work of any kind. Most children understand the subject matter (unless they have a bad teacher) and so its only a matter of teaching or helping them learn behaviors and strategies to focus and improve their executive function skills to finishing work. I have experience helping others with who have high functioning learning disabilities since I am a high functioning autistic, myself, as well. Otherwise, you can f

Your special needs tutoring questions, answered

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.
  • Speech or Language Impairment (SI) – covers difficulties such as stuttering, pronouncing words, making sounds with the voice, or understanding words.

Having Debbie tutor my daughters has been one of the best opportunities that I could have given them to excel in math . My daughters perform at different levels of rigor in math ranging from standard courses to Honors and AP courses and Debbie explains math in a way that they each can understand. My daughters always look forward to tutoring, which clearly speaks to Debbie's work ethic and ability to connect and teach a high school student. With her knowledge and ample quantity of formulas and methods, Debbie will have a way to demonstrate how to solve a math problem in a way that your child can understand. She knows that each child learns differently. Debbie puts the student's needs and interests first. She understands the hectic schedule of the student and finds a time that works best for the student. She is accommodating with the schedule and squeezes in extra hours during finals week to help her students. My daughters have excelled in math and feel confident with their math knowledge and skills because of Debbie.
