Virginia Beach Special Education Tutoring FAQ
Varsity Tutors knows how hard it can be for parents trying to help their children who have special education needs, which is why we are happy to set you up with quality Virginia Beach special education tutoring. Private instruction can be quite useful for students who struggle with language-based learning differences like dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia, or other learning differences like autism or Asperger's.Language-based learning disorders, or LBLD, refer to a whole spectrum of difficulties associated with young children's understanding and use of spoken and written language. LBLD can affect a wide variety of communication and academic skills like listening, speaking, reading, writing, and doing math calculations. Virginia Beach special education tutors can help your student work towards strengthening these skills.
What skills can a Virginia Beach special education tutor near me cover?
Your child's academic mentor can work with them on any of the subjects that they are currently studying while catering to their own unique learning needs. This can include changing the language or reading levels of the material, reading the information aloud to them, organizing information on a graph, or creating other useful visuals like fact grids. Your student's Virginia Beach special education tutor can take an approach that matches your student's preferences in order to help them with homework and learning new concepts.
Working one-on-one with a private instructor can do more than just give your student extra practice with the subjects they're studying in school. In fact, a lot of learners need more help with general learning skills that can be applied to all of their academic endeavors. For example, students with dyslexia can struggle to recognize simple sight words and answer questions about things they've just read. Difficulties like these can make it hard for learners to focus on the lessons, and it can also make for an overall negative perspective on school in general. Their Virginia Beach special education tutor can use strategies like implementing the Orton-Gillingham teaching approach, which uses multisensory techniques to help struggling readers.
What are some of the benefits associated with working with Virginia Beach special education tutors?
One of the most significant benefits of Virginia Beach special education tutoring lies in the customization. If your student has a learning disability, there is a good chance they have an IEP or 504 Plan. Their instructor can use that plan to inform how they go about helping your student learn. A private mentor with special education experience can give your student highly personalized assistance that can help them gain a more positive outlook on their education. Students with learning disabilities often need more repetition as well as one-on-one teaching as opposed to working through a set of problems on their own. The mentors we can set your child up with are not only thoroughly vetted, but they know how to connect with students as well. They can also utilize direct and structured teaching methods that mesh with your student's preferred learning style so your child can get the most out of their sessions.
The benefits of getting your child connected with their own educator aren't limited just to your child. Their instructor can also provide guidance to assist you and other family members in offering additional academic support to your learner. This can include creating a schedule to help your student accomplish tasks by specific deadlines, showing you how to use manipulatives effectively, or even helping you take advantage of alternative materials in the studying process. On top of all this, instructors can assist parents with the heavy homework burden that students with learning disabilities are often faced with by providing support.
How convenient are Virginia Beach special education tutoring sessions?
We make the process of working with a personal instructor both easy and convenient. You can choose between either online or in-person sessions. When your child meets with their instructor online, they will be able to video chat through the Live Learning Platform. Their mentor can use features like a virtual whiteboard and a shared document editor to create a more effective and customized learning experience for your child. You and your student can also go back and watch previous sessions thanks to the handy recording feature. Your learner can participate from a location that is convenient for them, whether it is at home or at a local library such as the Oceanfront Area Library.
How can I find a Virginia Beach special education tutor near me?
The easiest way to get set up with a Virginia Beach special education tutor is to contact Varsity Tutors directly. We will be happy to answer any questions you have. Just let us know what your schedule is like and we will get to work finding someone who is both qualified to help your student with their academic needs and available when you need them to be.
