Have you been thinking about hiring a private tutor for your child with special needs? This article will walk you through the tutoring options for students with special needs in order to help them succeed in the classroom and beyond.
What are the tutoring options for students with special needs?
Students with special needs often require additional support outside the classroom to help them succeed academically. Classrooms can be busy, distracting places that can make it hard for some to give their full attention and concentration. They also tend to follow a traditional curriculum, which may make it harder for those with learning disabilities to learn.
My Tutor Anywhere recognizes the challenge many students face in the classroom and seeks to give students the support and encouragement they need to do their best. With the help of a variety of different methods, your child will start to see improvement in their academic performance as a result of consistent tutoring.
Tutoring options vary widely depending on students’ individual needs and preferences. For students with dyslexia, we have seen that the Orton-Gillingham approach has been shown to be an effective method for learning how to read. Students with ADHD who find it difficult to focus for long periods of time may benefit from virtual tutoring, which allows them to stay in the home environment they know well, away from the distractions of the traditional classroom.
Tutoring offers the added benefit of sustained one-on-one attention. Many students—especially those who are navigating learning disabilities—may struggle to find the motivation to work through their schoolwork. The one-on-one design of regular tutoring gives students the attention and encouragement they need to thrive academically.
Tutors can also structure each student’s curriculum around their unique needs and interests. My Tutor Anywhere plans engaging, developmentally appropriate lessons that help students better understand key material and keeps them motivated to learn. Tailored curriculums give students the personalized learning that sets them up for success.
Special education tutoring rates
Many parents of students with special needs might be concerned about the affordability of hiring a private tutor. Tutoring costs can range widely depending on the tutor’s time commitment, expertise, and the unique needs of your child.
At My Tutor Anywhere, you can look forward to experienced, professional tutoring at an affordable price. While tutoring rates are subject to fluctuation depending on the individual circumstances of a student, parents can expect tutoring to cost $80 an hour. This fee covers students who may need online Orton-Gillingham tutoring or Wilson tutoring to help them learn to read in a multi-sensory way.
This fee also covers executive functioning coaching, which refers to tutoring assistance for students who may struggle to stay organized and on top of their assignments. Many students can benefit from a coach who helps them improve their study habits and manage their academic life. Parents of students with ADHD or who otherwise struggle with motivation and organization should look into executive functioning coaching.
In-person tutoring rates are typically $80 an hour, as well. For students who may only need online homework help or virtual tutoring, parents can expect a rate of $75 an hour. These rates may change if students require additional supervision or support.
Before a tutor begins working with a student, they typically assess the student’s current ability, knowledge, and motivation. These factors will help determine the exact plan that students and parents can expect moving forward. Exact pricing will depend on these factors based on the individual needs of the student.
How are students with special needs assessed for tutoring?
As mentioned earlier, tutors will typically assess a student’s academic performance before they start creating an individualized plan for that student. There are a variety of assessments that can measure a student’s performance.
At My Tutor Anywhere, you can expect a four-step process to assess your child and get them ready for tutoring. Here is what to expect as you move forward with the assessment process:
· Phone Consultation: We’ll get a holistic understanding of your student’s academic history and ability level from you.
· Academic Assessment: It’s important to also get an objective measurement of your child’s performance. We’ll use a combination of external evaluations and classroom samples to get a better understanding of where your child may struggle the most.
· Consistent, evidence-based tutoring: Based on the results of the consultation and assessment, we’ll provide high-quality special education tutoring for students with special needs to help them get where they need to be academically.
· Updated growth reports: Assessment is an ongoing process that helps you and your student better understand their strengths and weaknesses in the classroom. With My Tutor Anywhere, you can expect clear, detailed growth reports whenever you request them. You can get a clearer picture of what techniques and strategies we are using during tutoring sessions and see the kinds of improvement your student is experiencing.
You should consider private tutoring an investment in your child’s education and future. Based on the results of these assessments, you will get a more precise pricing plan for your child’s special education tutoring.
