What is a special education tutor?

The short answer to the question is that a special education tutor is a licensed teacher who has speciality in one or more of the following needs: ADHD, learning disabilities including dyslexia and dysgraphia, autism, executive functioning challenges.

If you want a deeper dive on this question, we wrote a whole article on tutoring for special education students.

“We’ve got a team of school psychologists, learning specialists, and multi-sensory tutors and will hand pick the perfect specialist for your student!”

Why should I consider special education tutoring online?

The biggest benefit is the match. Period. If your student has diverse learning needs, it is critically important that the tutor working with your student is well matched to your student’s needs. You wouldn’t go to an allergist to treat back pain, and you don’t want an executive functioning specialist working with your student with learning disabilities. In our experience, it’s hard to find the perfect match with compatible availability who also just happens to live down the street. Making perfect matches is why we started Progress Parade, and it’s why we encourage you to consider online special education tutoring.

Other benefits are greater ease in scheduling, not having to worry about traffic and parking, and the fact that some students respond better to online tutoring than in-person.

Online tutoring is the magic that really allows Progress Parade to always select the perfect “special education tutor near me” for everyone who needs specialized services. 

If you’ve had negative experiences with online school or group online classes, please understand that 1:1 services online are completely different than group classes. We’ve heard that over and over again from our families!
