Nashville Special Education Tutoring FAQ
Varsity Tutors is aware of the struggles that students with special needs face daily. We will be happy to connect you with a private Nashville special education tutor who can study with your student one-on-one and give them personalized attention to help them improve their performance in their studies.
Learning differences such as autism, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and processing disorders can affect listening, reading, writing, speaking, and other skills. Some students with learning differences might not be able to sound out a word. Others might be able to read through a story but not tell you what it is about. Every student will face different challenges, which can change as they grow older. Read on to learn more about how Nashville special education tutors can help your child.
What skills can a Nashville special education tutor near me cover with my child?
Your student can learn skills that can help them improve their performance in the classroom and with their schoolwork. For example, students with autism can be prone to meltdowns due to frustration, anxiety, and communication difficulties. They might struggle with social skills or get upset when there is a change in their routine. A private mentor can review strategies to set clear expectations and help your child learn tips for staying calm. They can focus on improving your child's communication skills.
Nashville special education tutors can also teach your child color-coded tips to help them stay organized. For example, sticky notes of various colors can be used to help your child keep track of their responsibilities, such as their homework and chores they need to do at home.
If your child has trouble completing a task or project they are working on, breaking it down into smaller chunks can help. The same goes for study sessions. A mentor can break down the sessions into smaller segments and use a timer to mark the end of each segment, at which point your child can take a break. Knowing that they can take a break soon can help your child focus.
What are some benefits of studying with a private Nashville special education tutor?
If your student has been struggling to keep up with their classes, personal Nashville special education tutors can help. A private instructor can focus on specific subjects such as math, reading, or writing. Your child can review what they learned in class and ask questions. They can also preview the material that will be covered in upcoming classes so they can get a head start. This can make it easier for them to follow along and keep up with other students, and it can also boost their confidence and their outlook on attending class.
Nashville special education tutoring can allow your child to study in a safe and comfortable environment. They won't have to deal with external pressures or distractions. They can move at their own pace, with the encouragement of an empathetic mentor. A private special education tutor can give your child instant feedback to help them grow. If your child has an IEP or 504 Plan, their mentor can build on that and accommodate it in their lessons.
You can also benefit from getting Nashville special education tutoring for your child. Their mentor can give you advice on how to help your child with their schoolwork or get ready for school. They can recommend smartphone apps or other tools the family can use to assist your child with special education needs when they are at home.
Is it convenient to study with a private Nashville special education tutor?
We know that you and your family probably have many responsibilities. That is why we created the web-based Live Learning Platform, a robust tool that allows students to study with their mentor from home, the East Branch of the Nashville Public Library, or any location where they have access to the internet.
Your student can use the video chat tool to see, hear, and speak with their instructor. There is also a virtual whiteboard, which your student's mentor can use to organize lesson plans, write down keynotes that your child can refer to throughout the session, or break down information in the form of graphs or charts. Your student can share their screen with their mentor to get feedback.
All sessions are recorded, so your child can go back and watch them at any time. This can allow them to refresh their memory. They can also refer to techniques, tools, or charts that were mentioned or used in the sessions.
