As a current special education teacher for middle and high schools, I am well versed in all subjects. I substituted pre-k- 10th grade for 3 years. Before becoming a teacher, I was an interventionist helping in 8th grade ELA, US history, and Algebra 1. I have a bachelors in political science and am getting my masters in education and curriculum with a teacher certification in special education and high school English. I am enthusastic and encouraging with all students I work with! My goal as a tutor is, not only for students and parents to see tangible results, but for students to feel confident and excited about learning!

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.

Reviews for San Antonio special education tutors

Recent success stories from people in the San Antonio area.
Marin C.
Our experience with Julissa has been amazing! She was able to take my daughter from an F to an A in months. She is very personable and really connects with her students. She gave my daughter confidence in her ability to learn math and to actually enjoy it. Julissa makes it fun for her students to learn. Even with remote tutoring because of COVID-19 Julissa has still been able to provide an effective learning atmosphere for her students. There is no concept that she can’t help with. She is also very affordable and easy to work with. I highly recommend her if you need a tutor for your student.

I had the privilege of being tutored by an exceptional physics and math tutor, and I cannot praise his skills and teaching techniques enough. From the outset, it was evident that he possessed a profound understanding of the subjects, effortlessly navigating complex concepts with clarity and precision. His teaching approach was nothing short of transformative. Rather than resorting to rote memorization, he emphasized understanding the underlying principles. This not only deepened my comprehension but also equipped me with the tools to tackle a myriad of problems independently. His ability to break down intricate theories into digestible components made even the most challenging topics accessible. One aspect that truly set him apart was his patience. No question was deemed too basic, and he encouraged a supportive and inclusive learning environment. His willingness to revisit topics until they were fully grasped demonstrated a commitment to each student's success. This approach fostered a sense of confidence, allowing me to approach problem-solving with newfound assurance. Beyond the curriculum, he seamlessly integrated real-world applications into our sessions, illustrating how physics and math were not abstract concepts confined to textbooks but essential tools applicable to everyday scenarios. This holistic approach not only made the material more engaging but underscored the practical relevance of what we were learning.

I could not say enough about Ganesh Susarla. Besides being a wonderful mathematician, he is a truly gifted tutor. Some people know their subjects, but not everyone can teach. Like other tutors we have met through Tutorfly, Ganesh is really a very good teacher. His kind, compassionate, patient, and thorough approach to his subject has given my son the confidence in his math class that he needs to know that he is in control. He now sees himself a a math guy, which is a wonderful turn of events. Another point I'd like to make about Ganesh is that he is so polite and friendly- very easy to talk to and comfortable in his own skin. Our whole family enjoys talking to Ganesh when he's at our house. What a great guy!
