I've helped several hundred students in a wide variety of subjects, from executive functioning to computer science to standardized testing. I also help students with general support in math and English. Most of my students are around 9-17, but I work well with students who are older and a little younger as well. I also work very well with students who have specific obstacles or requirements, such as neurodiversity support or schedules that change a lot. Most of my background is in computer science, from my college major to my experience hands-on over the past 10 years. Regardless of the subject, I believe every student's needs are unique and every student is able to achieve great things with the right preparation and support. My number one goal is to provide that whenever I can, both to the student and to their parents. I communicate with parents outside of sessions a lot to establish their expectations, better understand students, and recommend ways they can directly support their children in their journey as well.

Kim's approach starts with identifying the specific barrier a student faces — whether it's processing speed, attention, or difficulty transferring skills across contexts — and then adapting instruction around it. Her background spanning anthropology and business gives her an unusually flexible toolkit for reframing concepts in ways that click for different learners. She holds a 5.0 rating across her students.
Hans completed his Northwestern economics degree in three years rather than four, which required him to develop precise study systems and organizational strategies — skills he now applies when building structured routines for students who need extra support with executive function, task management, and academic planning. His 5.0 rating and broad teaching range across math, reading, and writing mean he can identify where a student is struggling and adjust his approach across multiple subject areas in a single session.
I am a teacher who is certified in all core subjects for grades 4 through 8, Special Education, and English as a Second Language. I am eager for the opportunity to tutor you or your student, because I feel that small group instruction is the single best tool in increasing understanding. I love lesson design and as your tutor, I will be sure to work with you to create lessons that you find both engaging and effective.
Rosemary's graduate work in occupational therapy included extensive training in adaptive learning strategies, sensory processing, and task analysis — the clinical side of what special education looks like in practice. She volunteers regularly with the Down syndrome community, giving her hands-on experience tailoring instruction to different cognitive and developmental profiles. That combination means she doesn't just know accommodations exist; she knows how to implement them in real learning moments.
A psychology degree gave Maggie a deep understanding of how learning differences — from ADHD to processing disorders — affect the way students absorb and retain information. She adapts lessons using multi-sensory techniques, scaffolded instructions, and frequent check-ins that keep students engaged without overwhelming them. Her approach is patient and structured, building skills at a pace that respects each learner's needs.
Rebecca's graduate training in social work at the University of Chicago, combined with her undergraduate psychology research, gives her a sharp understanding of how different learners process information and what accommodations actually look like in practice. She adapts pacing, breaks down multi-step instructions, and uses individualized reinforcement techniques to keep students engaged and progressing. Rated 4.9 by families she's worked with.
As a Vanderbilt-trained and Tennessee-licensed special educator, Megan understands the full landscape — IEP goal writing, behavior intervention plans, differentiated instruction, and the legal framework of IDEA and Section 504. She tailors her approach to each learner's profile, whether that means building phonemic awareness for a student with dyslexia or creating visual math supports for a student who processes information differently. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that individualized approach works.
Clinical psychology training fundamentally changes how you understand a struggling learner — Danny's PhD work gives him insight into the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions that shape how students with learning differences engage with academic material. He draws on formal counseling psychology methods to identify what's actually getting in the way, then adapts instruction accordingly, whether the barrier is processing speed, attention, anxiety around schoolwork, or something else entirely. Rated 5.0 by families.
As a practicing Special Education Social Worker in Minneapolis, Emily understands IEPs, accommodations, and learning differences from the inside — not just as theory. She adapts her approach to each student's specific needs, whether that means breaking reading passages into smaller chunks, using visual supports for math, or building executive functioning skills like task initiation and self-monitoring.
Teaching across dozens of NYC public schools exposed James to students with a wide range of learning differences, from processing delays to attention challenges. He builds individualized approaches — breaking instructions into smaller steps, using multi-sensory reinforcement, and adjusting pacing in real time. His current doctoral work in physical therapy deepens his understanding of how neurological and developmental factors shape the way students learn.
James holds a Master's in Education and brings deep experience adapting lessons for students with diverse learning needs, whether that means restructuring a math problem into smaller visual steps or reframing a reading assignment to reduce cognitive overload. He identifies where a student feels confident and builds outward from that anchor point. His 5.0 rating speaks to the trust and patience he brings to every session.
Grant has spent two decades working successfully with students across a wide range of learning differences, from processing disorders to ADHD to math-specific anxiety. His approach strips away the shame many students carry — he slows down, re-explains using different models, and builds lessons around how each individual learner actually thinks rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method.

Frequently Asked Questions
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to tailor lessons to each student's unique learning style, pace, and specific needs—something that's challenging in a classroom setting where teachers manage 14-15 students on average. Tutors can adjust strategies in real-time, break down complex concepts into smaller steps, and focus intensively on areas where a student struggles, rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum. This targeted approach often leads to faster progress and greater confidence.
The first session is focused on getting to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and specific goals. The tutor will assess current skill levels, understand any accommodations or modifications already in place, and ask about what's worked (or hasn't) in the past. This foundation helps the tutor design a personalized plan that aligns with your student's IEP goals and addresses the skills that matter most.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand IEP goals and can align instruction with your student's specific accommodations and modifications. Whether your student is working on foundational skills like reading decoding, math computation, or social-emotional development, tutors can support progress toward IEP objectives while reinforcing what's being taught in school. This coordination helps ensure consistent messaging and faster skill transfer.
Students often struggle with foundational skills like phonemic awareness, decoding, number sense, or executive function—gaps that compound over time if not addressed. Many also face challenges with attention, memory, or processing speed, which can make learning feel overwhelming. Personalized tutoring breaks skills into manageable pieces, uses multi-sensory strategies, builds in frequent review and practice, and celebrates small wins—all of which boost both skill development and confidence.
Tutors track progress through regular assessment and observation—noting improvements in skill fluency, accuracy, independence, and confidence. You'll receive updates on what's being worked on and what your student is mastering. Many tutors also use data collection methods like progress monitoring probes or skill checklists, which provide concrete evidence of growth and help adjust instruction as needed.
Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who have expertise in special education instruction, learning disabilities, and evidence-based intervention strategies. Many have backgrounds in special education teaching, speech-language pathology, educational psychology, or related fields. All tutors are vetted for subject knowledge and experience working with students who have diverse learning needs and disabilities.
Greenville's two school districts—Greenville County Schools and Greenville City Schools—offer special education services, evaluations, and IEP support. Tutoring works best alongside these services, reinforcing skills and goals while providing intensive, individualized practice outside the classroom. Your student's school can also recommend community resources, therapies, or support groups that may help address specific needs.
