Private online tutoring for students with special needs in New York City, NY
Receive personally tailored Special Education lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.Varsity Tutors understands what it's like to watch the student in your life struggle academically, so we're delighted to match you and your student with the professional New York City special education tutoring services your student needs to reach for their goals.
Language-based learning disabilities, or LBLDs, can limit a student's ability to express themselves, follow a story, learn how to write, or perform math problems (among other things). While many instructors lack the specialized skills and experience to handle these problems, New York City special education tutors can help your student reach for their academic potential. Please continue reading to learn more about how private instruction could be a good fit for your student.
What life and academic skills can my student review during New York City special education tutoring sessions?
No two students with learning differences have the exact same needs, and a New York City special education tutor can tailor their approach to your student's unique situation. An instructor can begin by reviewing your student's 504 Plan or IEP (Individualized Education Plan) to get a general sense of what they need. Of course, actually spending time with your student can allow your student's private instructor to design New York City special education tutoring sessions around the specific skills your student needs help with.
For instance, many students with learning differences could use help with their organizational skills. A private instructor can help your student color-code their notebook to make it easier to locate the material they need. If your student has to do a longer project, their private instructor can also make them a study calendar that breaks it down into smaller daily tasks to make time management easier.
Likewise, New York City special education tutors can provide generalized homework help for all of your student's academic subjects. If your student has a hard time doing math problems in their head, visual aids such as counting cubes and number lines can make math homework easier. Your student's instructor can also take some of the burden of homework off of you, giving you more time to tend to household tasks.
What benefits can a New York City special education tutor near me provide?
Many students with learning differences struggle in a classroom setting because they associate it with falling behind their peers and getting scolded by the teacher. Working with a private instructor allows your student to study in a one-on-one learning environment without the same emotional baggage, allowing them to develop self-confidence in their own abilities.
Since your student is the only pupil in their New York City special education tutoring sessions, their needs always come first. For example, many students find it easier to ask for help in a private setting, especially if they trust their instructor. If your student isn't shy about asking for help, they can receive clarification before a simple misunderstanding spirals out of control.
Similarly, a private instructor can design study sessions around your student's unique learning style for maximal efficiency. An auditory learner can repeat information aloud to themselves to make it easier to remember, while a visual student can use infographics to help illustrate key concepts. Your student can also complete extra practice problems during their study sessions until they get the hang of a particular topic.
Can I connect with an expert New York City special education tutor near me right now?
We know how jam-packed your schedule is, so we try to make private instruction as convenient as it can possibly be. We take care of all of the research that goes into finding a great instructor so you don't have to. We can also set you up with your choice of online or in-person tutoring for an extra layer of flexibility.
If you choose digital study sessions, your student will meet a knowledgeable instructor via our exclusive Live Learning Platform. Our platform is compatible with a variety of mobile devices, making it just as easy for your student to attend sessions at home as it is to go to a serene location such as Jefferson Market Library. It also includes several powerful features such as video chat, a virtual whiteboard, and integrated practice problems that can provide a premium study experience even if teacher and student are miles apart from one another. There's even a shared document editor so that your student can work side-by-side with their academic mentor. Who knew private instruction could be so convenient?
If you were going to try and find a New York City special education tutor on your own, you would need to make sure that any potential candidate had the communication skills, academic knowledge, and expertise in learning differences to act as an effective instructor. Who has time to do all of that? Instead, let Varsity Tutors find you a private instructor who suits your scheduling and academic needs in as little as 24 hours. Educational consultants are currently available to answer any questions you have, so reach out by phone or online today to get the process started!
