Phoenix Special Education Tutoring FAQ
Varsity Tutors knows what it's like to watch a student struggle with a learning difference, which is why we're more than happy to help you find Phoenix special education tutoring for your child. We can assist you in connecting to a private instructor who has extensive experience working with students with special education needs. They can help students who have autism, dyslexia, and dysgraphia, among other learning differences. Studying with a private instructor can be beneficial for your child because they can create a learning environment that is both accessible and enjoyable. If you wish to learn more about how a Phoenix special education tutor can assist your student, reach out to one of our educational consultants today.
What skills can a Phoenix special education tutor near me review with my child?
One area Phoenix special education tutors can assist with is helping your student go over content in specific subjects. Not every student learns in the same way so it doesn't make sense to teach every student in the same way. As such, your child's personal mentor can identify their learning strengths and develop a study plan that takes advantage of them. They can also talk to your student about areas that are frustrating them and prioritize going over strategies for alleviating some of this frustration. This includes adjusting reading levels to match your student's capabilities, using techniques that match with your student's learning style, and assisting them with homework.
While subject-specific tutoring can be beneficial, it can also be a good idea to go over more general learning skills. Phoenix special education tutors can review time-management and organizational strategies with your student that can not only help with their current classes but any subsequent classes they might have as well.
What are some of the perks associated with studying with Phoenix special education tutors?
One of the perks associated with studying with a Phoenix special education tutor is that your student will be the only one working with them during a session. This means that your student can study at a pace that works best for them as they can go over a topic with their instructor as many times as they need to.
The personalized nature of private instruction can also lead to a stronger connection between your child and their instructor. It is common for students with learning differences to get frustrated over their symptoms and the struggles they can cause. Working with a patient and compassionate instructor who has experience with these learning differences can encourage your student to talk about their frustrations and receive guidance and support in return.
It is possible that your student has a 504 Plan or Individualized Education Program (IEP) already in place. If this is the case, your student's academic mentor can build upon it and fill in any gaps that exist. If your child does not have one of these plans, your child's mentor can create a plan from scratch.
Private instruction can also be useful for parents because you can learn about different techniques that can make a big difference in your child's life. Routines are often a good idea for students with learning differences because it helps them stay on track. You can learn about different strategies for doing this from your child's personal mentor. You can also learn how to create an environment where they can study and work on homework without distractions.
Are Phoenix special education tutoring sessions convenient?
One of the benefits of Phoenix special education tutoring is that it makes fitting study time into your schedule easy. The various commitments you and your child may have can seem like insurmountable obstacles in the way of getting your child the help they need. But this doesn't have to be the case as both the online and in-person options can easily accommodate any time constraints you might have. Online instruction can be beneficial because you don't have to waste valuable time traveling to meet your student's academic mentor. They can communicate with their instructor over video chat from anywhere with an internet connection, such as from the Burton Barr Central Library or your house.
Our Live Learning Platform also enables your student to work with their academic mentor on shared documents and a virtual whiteboard. Additionally, each study session is recorded so you and your child can refer back to previous lessons if you ever need a refresher on something.
How can I get started with a Phoenix special education tutor near me?
Getting started with a Phoenix special education tutor doesn't have to be a chore. We can help you connect with a quality instructor who has the skills and knowledge necessary to provide your student with the support they need. If you want more information about how Phoenix special education tutoring can benefit your student, contact Varsity Tutors today.
