Megan C. says, "As an advocate Lindsay was knowledgable, supportive, creative, and insightful. She was able to offer suggestions during meetings and ask clarifying questions. I feel supported to have her with me at the meetings to ensure my sons school needs were being best met. As a tutor Lindsay is passionate about Literacy and seeing the child for who they are. My son lights up to work with her even when it is tricky for him. She teaches him Literacy, is his cheerleader and always has a tool to support him when he needs it. For example, she offers him fidgets to hold during lessons, let's him "explore" new materials for a few minutes before lesson begin and the list goes on. The growth and strides my son has made from his work with Lindsay is truly remarkable. She is not only skilled at teaching but also making positive connections." Read more

Hello! My name is Alicia Penta, but my current students call me Miss Penta. I work as a 7th grade inclusion special education teacher, and I have been for 4 years. I love working with my students because everyone needs a cheerleader, and I am able to do that for them! I teach math, science, ELA, and Ancient Civ, I can tutor any subject, besides foreign language. The biggest takeaways I want my students to have when they leave the 7th grade is confidence and the ability to use strategies to help them be successful.

Hi everyone! Nice to meet you and thank you for considering me as your tutor. I am a graduate of Tufts University, with a Master's in Public Health and small focus in Pharmacology. I have been tutoring all ages, K-12 grade and some college students sprinkled in. My goal as a tutor is to evaluate each student individually as well as get to know their learning style and personal goals for development. I aim to provide clear concise responses for those in a rush, and slow, methodic teaching for those with extra time. I create lesson plans, worksheets and workbooks to meet each students individual needs. I like to check in with parents regul

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.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) – injury to the brain caused by a physical force.
  • Visual Impairment / Blindness (VI) – covers both partial sight and blindness.
