Private online tutoring for students with special needs in Los Angeles, CA
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 what it feels like to watch your student struggle in school, so reach out to us today to connect with professional Los Angeles special education tutors in as little as 24 hours. Special education is a broad term that encompasses a variety of LBLDs, or language-based learning disabilities. Whether your student has autism, dyslexia, Aspergers, or another learning difference, an expert Los Angeles special education tutor can use a variety of tools and techniques to help your student work toward academic success.
What skills can Los Angeles special education tutoring cover?
Los Angeles special education tutors are equipped to help your student with a variety of different skills, so the specific topics your student reviews largely depends on what they need. A private instructor can review your student's 504 Plan or IEP (Individualized Education Plan) to get a jump start on what your student might need to review, but the time they spend with your student can help them identify needs that your student's school may not have even realized your student had.
For instance, many students with learning differences could be more organized. A private instructor can implement a color-coded system to help your student distinguish their math notes from their English homework. If your student has a large project coming due, a private instructor can also make them a study calendar with daily tasks so that your student isn't trying to get everything done at the last minute.
Similarly, your student can receive homework help during their Los Angeles special education tutoring sessions. Homework can be a battle in many households, and finding the right routine can make the process easier for your entire household. A private instructor can also help you devise strategies to help your student focus on their work. For example, letting your student run around immediately after school can help them burn excess energy they may have otherwise used to avoid doing their homework.
What are some of the benefits of having my student work with a Los Angeles special education tutor near me?
Many students with learning differences have a hard time at school because they associate it with frustration and feeling uncomfortable. Studying in a private learning environment during Los Angeles special education tutoring sessions can allow your student to study without these negative feelings, allowing them to build self-confidence.
Likewise, the fact that your student is the only pupil allows their instructor to adapt to their specific needs. If your student has a hard time reading, their instructor can keep reframing the information until it clicks. In contrast, a traditional classroom would need to move onto a different topic eventually even if your student isn't yet ready to do so. Any questions your student asks can be answered promptly, and their assignments can be graded and returned while the material is fresh in your student's mind.
A private instructor can also design Los Angeles special education tutoring sessions around your student's natural learning style. For example, flashcards can be a great way for a visual learner to study the elements of a story, while an auditory student could get more out of talking about them.
Can I connect with a Los Angeles special education tutor near me today?
