Tutoring For Wonderful Silly And Sweet 17yo Boy With Cognitive Learning Disability In Our Home.

About the job

I am seeking a tutor who has several years of experience with special education and can teach all academic areas focusing on reading, writing, math, and science I need someone who is really skilled at helping students who struggle with these subjects and need the subjects adapted to their special learning styles. I'm also looking for someone who has a success story on how they've helped a student who has had challenges learning to be able to be interested again and successfully making improvements in academics. The student is a 17-year-old boy who is in 10th grade, but has not really done well since about middle school. Academically his learning level is probably you know kindergarten to the second or third grade he has you know never really been strong academically and I'm not looking for him to make huge leaps. I would just like to have him learn to read right to do basic math. He made great strides in middle school, but I feel he's really regressed in high school and it wasn't identified and I'm trying to look at going back to pick up where he was at middle school in build on that.. My son really enjoys one-to-one connection and motivating him with visuals and hands-on. He's not really a textbook learner. I think he could learn using online tools, but I haven't done that particularly with him myself. I also think that he likes manipulatives and to touch and feel things and so you know, I think it's gonna be a little bit of an exploration to see what motivates him it's been as I noted in other comments about a year and a half since he's really done well academically so I think that part of this The goal is to have the tutor figure some of that out. Tutoring will happen in an in person, but certainly if there's online programs that work, but I would expect that person to be engaged with my son as he's working on those online programs. I think what would work best for my son is maybe three days a week a four hour block of time maybe 10 to 2 where there is a break at lunchtime and different brain breaks during this time.
