Washington DC Special Education Tutoring FAQ
Varsity Tutors understands that it isn't fun to watch your student have a hard time academically, so let us match you with a Washington DC special education tutor today so they can get the individualized attention they need.
Students with learning differences have a variety of different needs. For example, a student with dyslexia generally struggles to read, while a student with dyscalculia has a hard time with quantitative concepts like place value and subtraction. As such, there is no universal approach that works for everybody. Washington DC special education tutors can take the time to understand your student's unique needs and design study sessions accordingly. Continue reading to find out more about why private instruction could be right for your student.
What skills can my student review during Washington DC special education tutoring sessions?
Washington DC special education tutors can begin by reviewing your student's IEP or 504 Plan for a general sense of what your student's needs are, allowing them to concentrate on the skills your student is struggling with. For example, flashcards can be a good way for students to remember what sounds each letter of the alphabet can make, while kinesthetic techniques such as air writing could be better in certain circumstances. A private instructor can also forge a solid personal rapport with your student, making it easier for them to admit when they need help with something.
A private instructor can also focus on life skills that prove useful in an academic context. For instance, organization can be very challenging for students with learning differences. Color-coding your student's notebooks can make it easier for them to identify which ones they need, while day planners can really help your student plan out their approach for a longer project. Your student can even practice packing and unpacking their backpack during Washington DC special education tutoring sessions to get more comfortable with their daily routine.
Likewise, a private instructor can provide homework help. While this might entail helping your student work out math problems or reading comprehension questions, setting a homework regimen could prove even more beneficial. If your student knows that they do homework at a set time each day, you might be able to skip the homework battle. Allowing your student to burn off some energy before starting can also make homework a better experience for all involved.
What advantages can a Washington DC special education tutor near me provide for my student?
Many students with learning differences don't like school because they associate it with negative experiences such as getting scolded or falling behind their peers. Studying with a private instructor means working in a learning environment that doesn't have the same connotations, allowing your student to feel more confident in their abilities.
A private instructor can also address any questions your student has promptly, allowing them to receive assistance before the material starts to feel too overwhelming. Likewise, your student's completed assignments can be reviewed quickly so your student can review any mistakes while the material is at the forefront of their mind. Perhaps most importantly, a private instructor can introduce topics at a pace your student is comfortable with to keep sessions engaging, but not overwhelming.
Can I connect with a knowledgeable Washington DC special education tutor near me right now?
At Varsity Tutors, we understand that busy parents don't necessarily have the time to find the right private instructor for their student, so we take the hassle out of the equation. We handle all of the legwork that goes into finding somebody who suits your academic and scheduling needs, allowing you to trust that your student is receiving top-notch instruction without ensuring it yourself. We can also arrange online or in-person study sessions according to your scheduling needs.
If you opt for online Washington DC special education tutoring, your student will meet their instructor on our mobile-friendly Live Learning Platform for maximal convenience. While driving to a particular study spot can be an issue, working remotely makes it just as easy for your student to study at home as it is at the Watha T Daniel-Shaw Library.
Our platform also offers powerful features like a virtual whiteboard, video chat capability, and a shared document editor that can provide a face-to-face study experience even if your student's instructor lives nowhere near the nation's capital. Best of all, every session is automatically recorded so that your student can go back and review anything they need to. You can also take a look to identify how your student's instructor is approaching study sessions, allowing you to keep the learning going at home.
If you're ready for your student to experience the difference that working with a private Washington DC special education tutor can make, contact a friendly educational consultant today to get the process started. Varsity Tutors has matched countless students with appropriate private instructors in the past, and we look forward to doing the same for you!
