As a state-certified teacher with special education experience, Marina adapts lessons to match each learner's processing style — whether that means breaking multi-step directions into smaller chunks, using visual supports for abstract concepts, or building in movement breaks that reset focus. Her UCLA background in public health sharpened her understanding of how environment and individual needs shape learning outcomes.

Every learner processes information differently, and Michelle adapts her explanations accordingly — whether that means using visual diagrams for a concept like cell division or turning a math problem into a hands-on, step-by-step narrative. Her experience across subjects from elementary math to college-level science gives her a wide toolkit for finding the approach that actually lands with each student.
Teaching across dozens of NYC public schools exposed James to students with a wide range of learning differences, from processing delays to attention challenges. He builds individualized approaches — breaking instructions into smaller steps, using multi-sensory reinforcement, and adjusting pacing in real time. His current doctoral work in physical therapy deepens his understanding of how neurological and developmental factors shape the way students learn.
Sabrina holds certification in special education and brings a classroom teacher's instinct for identifying where a lesson loses a student. She redesigns explanations on the fly — using manipulatives, visual models, or simplified language — so learners with IEPs or 504 plans can access grade-level math, reading, and writing content at their own pace.
Navian has firsthand experience supporting a family member with autism, which shaped how he adapts explanations, pacing, and encouragement to each learner's needs. He breaks concepts into smaller, concrete steps and checks understanding frequently — building confidence alongside comprehension rather than rushing through material.
Kevin's education studies degree from UCSD included direct work as an academic mentor in underserved San Diego communities, where he learned to adapt instruction for students with widely different learning needs and paces. He breaks complex material into smaller, scaffolded steps and uses visual and hands-on approaches to reinforce understanding. That experience translating difficult content into accessible lessons carries into every session.
All students can learn, however, not all students learn the same way. The key to learning and the most important part of any teachers job is helping students understand how they learn best. That is what I do well.
Starting her career in a Varying Exceptionalities classroom, Dolmecia is fluent in reading IEPs and 504 plans and translating their accommodations into real lesson adjustments. She uses manipulatives, visual supports, and multi-sensory strategies to make academic content accessible — whether the goal is grade-level reading, math fluency, or building independence with assignments.
A Master's in Education trained Alan in differentiated instruction, IEP-aligned goal setting, and multisensory teaching methods that reach learners who struggle in traditional classroom environments. He adapts pacing and materials to match each student's processing style, whether the challenge involves reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, or executive function skills. His 4.8 rating speaks to the patience and flexibility he brings to every session.
During her year as a teaching assistant in a first-grade classroom, Molly worked directly with students with special needs, adapting lessons and tracking individual progress toward IEP goals. Her dual major in elementary and special education gives her formal training in differentiated instruction, multisensory learning strategies, and behavior support frameworks. She understands how to modify materials so that a student can access the same content their peers are learning, just through a different pathway.
Every learner processes information differently — some through auditory explanation, some through visual mapping, others through hands-on activity — and Harry builds each session around identifying what actually works for that student. His background in theater and education at Northwestern trained him to read an audience and adapt in real time, a skill that translates directly to adjusting pacing, modality, and complexity for students with diverse learning needs.
Every learner processes information differently, and Yan's entire educational philosophy centers on adapting how material is presented until it connects. Her master's in Curriculum and Instruction trained her to design differentiated lessons, and her years in Boston elementary and middle school classrooms gave her hands-on experience modifying content for diverse learning needs — whether that means breaking math problems into visual steps or restructuring reading assignments for accessibility.
Working as an instructor at Seven Hills Foundation, Will teaches students with diverse learning needs every day — adapting pace, breaking multi-step problems into manageable chunks, and finding the explanation style that clicks for each individual. That hands-on experience with IEP-aligned instruction means he knows how to adjust on the fly rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
I am always seeking out new adventures in New York!
Hans completed his Northwestern economics degree in three years rather than four, which required him to develop precise study systems and organizational strategies — skills he now applies when building structured routines for students who need extra support with executive function, task management, and academic planning. His 5.0 rating and broad teaching range across math, reading, and writing mean he can identify where a student is struggling and adjust his approach across multiple subject areas in a single session.
I am a graduate of UC San Diego with a Bachelors in Neuroscience through the Psychology department. After graduating, I went to Michigan Technological University and did some graduate work, before moving to Texas to be closer to my parents. I did my alternative certification program through Texas Teachers and am highly qualified to teach Science for grades 7-12. I have been a teacher in public and charter schools for the last four years, and have tutoring experience extending over ten years behind me as well.
Trained in special education at Vanderbilt and currently teaching in the field, Alexandra designs instruction around how each learner processes information — not around a one-size-fits-all curriculum. She adapts materials for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and other differences, breaking academic content into manageable, scaffolded steps that build genuine understanding.
As a Vanderbilt-trained and Tennessee-licensed special educator, Megan understands the full landscape — IEP goal writing, behavior intervention plans, differentiated instruction, and the legal framework of IDEA and Section 504. She tailors her approach to each learner's profile, whether that means building phonemic awareness for a student with dyslexia or creating visual math supports for a student who processes information differently. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that individualized approach works.
Rebecca's psychology thesis at Bard College explored the neuroscience of empathy in atypical populations, giving her a research-grounded understanding of how different learners process information. She has taught creative writing and foundational reading skills to students on the autism spectrum, adapting lesson pacing, prompts, and sensory considerations to each student's needs. That combination of clinical knowledge and hands-on teaching experience shapes how she builds individualized strategies for students with learning differences.
I am a teacher who is certified in all core subjects for grades 4 through 8, Special Education, and English as a Second Language. I am eager for the opportunity to tutor you or your student, because I feel that small group instruction is the single best tool in increasing understanding. I love lesson design and as your tutor, I will be sure to work with you to create lessons that you find both engaging and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Special education tutoring is personalized instruction designed for students with learning differences, developmental delays, or disabilities. Unlike classroom instruction, special education tutoring focuses on individualized learning plans that address each student's unique needs, learning style, and pace. Tutors work with students to build foundational skills, develop coping strategies, and boost confidence in areas where they struggle most.
Miami's three school districts serve over 170,000 students with varying support needs. Personalized tutoring complements classroom instruction by providing one-on-one attention that addresses gaps in foundational skills, helps students keep pace with grade-level curriculum, and builds the confidence needed for academic success. With an average student-teacher ratio of 18.6:1, many students benefit from additional specialized support to thrive.
Students often struggle with foundational skills like reading, writing, and math; difficulty focusing or organizing information; and gaps between their current level and grade-level expectations. Personalized tutoring breaks complex concepts into manageable steps, uses multi-sensory learning strategies, and provides immediate feedback to build mastery. This targeted approach helps students develop both academic skills and the self-advocacy strategies they need to succeed.
The first session focuses on getting to know your student—their strengths, challenges, learning style, and goals. Tutors will assess current skill levels, understand any diagnoses or IEP accommodations, and discuss what success looks like for your family. This foundation allows tutors to create a personalized learning plan that aligns with your student's needs and your expectations.
