Private online tutoring for students with special needs in Denver, CO
Receive personally tailored lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting who can support students with special needs. The best tutor isn't always located where you are. We help you connect with online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling.
Varsity Tutors knows how difficult it can be to watch your child struggle with learning differences, which is why we are happy to help you find Denver special education tutoring. Our educational experts can assist you with finding a private instructor who has extensive working with students who have special education needs. Not all private instructors are the same as some instructors are not equipped to work with students with learning differences.
We can help you connect with a Denver special education tutor who has experience working with students with dyslexia or a processing disorder. Working with a personal mentor can benefit your student by creating an environment that makes learning enjoyable and accessible for your child. If you would like to learn more about how working with Denver special education tutors can benefit your child, reach out to one of our educational consultants today.
What skills can a Denver special education tutor near me review with my child?
Your student's private instructor can assist your student with any subject where they are struggling. One way they can do this is by reshaping the way content is presented so that your child has an easier time understanding it. This could involve altering the reading or language level of the material, reading information aloud, or organizing material graphically depending on your student's needs. An academic mentor can also assist your student with homework and explain concepts in ways that are easy for them to understand. Not every student learns in the same way so it doesn't make sense to teach every student as if they do. Your child's personal mentor can identify their strengths as a learner and find ways to reach them.
Focusing on more general skills is also a feature of Denver special education tutoring. Skills like time-management and organization can transfer to every subject your student takes. As such, it can be beneficial for your child to work on these skills so they can reap the benefits throughout their academic career and beyond.
What are some of the perks associated with working with Denver special education tutors?
One perk of receiving private instruction is that it allows for customization. Students with special education needs often benefit from repetition. This can be difficult to get in a traditional classroom, but your student's academic mentor can go over content with them for as long as they need to in order to fully understand it.
It is possible that your student already has an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a 504 Plan. An IEP outlines the support and services that could be beneficial for your student while a 504 Plan details the accommodations their school is willing to provide. If they already have one of these plans in place, your student's private instruction can build upon this while filling in any gaps that exist. If they do not have a plan in place, their mentor can develop their own plan.
While private instruction is mainly geared towards helping students, it can also be advantageous for parents. Students with learning differences often benefit from having a routine. Your child's mentor can provide techniques and strategies for creating a consistent routine for your child both inside and outside of the classroom. Their private instructor can also demonstrate how to create a peaceful space where your child can work on homework without distractions. The collaboration between you, your child, and your child's academic mentor can create an environment where your child feels supported and can take the next step in working towards their academic goals.
Are Denver special education tutoring sessions convenient?
Finding time to study outside of a classroom can be a daunting task. Between you and your student, you may have work, family, and school commitments that fill up most of your schedule. But this shouldn't stop you from getting your child the help they need as working with Denver special education tutors provides both flexibility and convenience. You can sign your child up for either online or in-person tutoring sessions. If you choose to sign your child up for online instruction, you don't have to stress about how you're going to get them to their study sessions as they can interact with their mentor over video chat from any location with an internet connection, such as from your house or from the Denver Public Library.
Our Live Learning Platform also provides an opportunity for your student to collaborate with their Denver special education tutor on shared documents and a virtual whiteboard. Additionally, each study session is recorded so your student can refer back to material they learned in previous sessions whenever they need to.
How can I get started with a Denver special education tutor near me?
Finding a private instructor who has experience working with students with special education needs can be challenging. But our educational consultants can assist you in finding a knowledgeable and experienced instructor who can help meet your student's needs. If you would like to learn more about how private instruction can assist your child, contact Varsity Tutors for more information today.
