Liz holds a master's in Special Education (Mild to Moderate Disabilities, grades 5–12) from Simmons College and has worked extensively with students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, and emotional impairments. That clinical training, paired with her hands-on experience teaching and directing tutors at a charter school in Boston, means she knows how to adapt instruction on the fly — whether that's restructuring a math lesson for a student with dyscalculia or building reading fluency strategies for a student with dyslexia. She designs individualized approaches grounded in each student's IEP goals and actual learning profile.

Every learner processes information differently, and Jessica adapts her teaching style accordingly — breaking concepts into smaller steps, using visual organizers, or finding alternative explanations when the standard one doesn't click. Her science and economics training means she can support students across multiple subjects while keeping the focus on building confidence and independence. She's patient, structured, and attentive to what each individual student actually needs to move forward.
During her years teaching second through fourth grade, Molly worked daily with students who had a wide range of learning needs, from reading intervention to modified math instruction. She pulls from multiple curricula and adapts materials on the fly — adjusting pacing, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and using multisensory approaches to make concepts accessible. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that individualized approach works.
Every learner processes information differently, and Yan's entire educational philosophy centers on adapting how material is presented until it connects. Her master's in Curriculum and Instruction trained her to design differentiated lessons, and her years in Boston elementary and middle school classrooms gave her hands-on experience modifying content for diverse learning needs — whether that means breaking math problems into visual steps or restructuring reading assignments for accessibility.
Victoria spent three years as a certified classroom teacher through Teach for America, working with first through third graders who had a wide range of learning needs, including IEP-supported students. She adapts lessons to different processing styles and paces, breaking academic content into structured, manageable steps that build genuine understanding rather than frustration.
Heather's psychology background gives her real insight into how different learners process information — whether a student needs material broken into smaller chunks, presented visually, or reinforced through repetition. She's especially effective with kids who get frustrated easily, building their confidence alongside their skills in reading, math, or writing. Rated 5.0 by families she's worked with.
Every learner processes information differently — some through auditory explanation, some through visual mapping, others through hands-on activity — and Harry builds each session around identifying what actually works for that student. His background in theater and education at Northwestern trained him to read an audience and adapt in real time, a skill that translates directly to adjusting pacing, modality, and complexity for students with diverse learning needs.
A PhD in neuroscience means Elliot understands learning differences at the biological level — how attention, working memory, and processing speed vary across brains and what that means for instruction. He explicitly welcomes learners on the spectrum and tailors pacing, scaffolding, and sensory considerations to each student rather than defaulting to one-size-fits-all methods. His 5.0 rating speaks to that individualized care.
Mati brings both professional and personal insight to special education — her doctoral work centered on learning disabilities, and as a mother of two children with dyslexia, she's navigated IEP meetings, accommodation plans, and reading interventions from every side of the table. She teaches strategies for decoding, multisensory learning, and self-advocacy that address the specific barriers a student faces. Rated 5.0 by students.
Occupational therapy is fundamentally about adapting tasks so people can succeed despite neurological, developmental, or learning differences — and that's the perspective Alex brings to tutoring. Currently in Washington University's OT Doctorate program with a neuroscience background, Alex understands how conditions like ADHD, dyslexia, and sensory processing challenges affect learning and tailors strategies accordingly, from breaking assignments into smaller steps to using multisensory approaches for retention.
A Master's in Education trained Alan in differentiated instruction, IEP-aligned goal setting, and multisensory teaching methods that reach learners who struggle in traditional classroom environments. He adapts pacing and materials to match each student's processing style, whether the challenge involves reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, or executive function skills. His 4.8 rating speaks to the patience and flexibility he brings to every session.
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.

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.
