Tutoring is highly beneficial for students with special needs. Our tutors have training that can help them. We provide overall strategies to help children with learning disabilities become independent learners, and increasing their organization and time management skills.
If your student has been identified with special needs, they will benefit by working with patient tutors who understand their learning styles.
In addition to subject support, Teachers on Call's tutors assist with executive functioning skills such as effective note-taking, study habits and test-taking strategies. Math tutors will help students master the foundational skills required for homework, and teach the critical thinking, problem solving and analytical skills they need to excel.
Our English tutors can help your student with reading, writing, spelling, punctuation, and grammar skills. Reading comprehension, effective study skills and note-taking techniques are other areas our tutors can assist with.
