My son has ADHD, Anxiety, Dyslexia AND a learning disability. He's always attended private schools for learning disabled children, but when we had to move, public school and an IEP were the only option. I called VT in desperation because he was failing across the board and was so distressed. I know he just needed the right environment in order to thrive. After a couple tearful sessions with the VERY PATIENT tutor, my son began to "get it". Once he did, there was no stopping him!

New York City Special Education Tutoring FAQ

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.
