FAQs for finding special needs tutors near you in Berkeley, CA

The hourly rate a private tutor for a special needs child charges near you in Berkeley, CA is $32.95 per hour. However, it’s important to keep in mind this is just an average and the actual rate a special needs tutor charges can depend on many different factors such as their years of experience and subject matter expertise.

If you’re looking for tutoring for special needs students near you in Berkeley, CA, Care.com can make your search easier by connecting you with professionals in your area. You can sort profiles by location and pay rate. You can also read detailed descriptions about each special needs tutor and can find reviews from families they worked with in the past.

Parents and guardians of special needs students understandably want to ensure their child is learning in a safe environment. When looking for a special needs tutor near you in Berkeley, CA, we strongly recommend you take the steps necessary to feel comfortable regarding who you’re hiring. While we ask all special needs tutors on Care.com to complete an annual background check called a CareCheck (those who complete it have a badge on their profile), this is merely a starting point for your research. You can run your own private background check, interview multiple candidates, and request professional references.

There are many different types of special needs tutors near you in Berkeley, CA. You can hire special needs tutoring services that focus on reading, writing, math, and English. You can also hire more general special needs tutors who can provide support in all subjects your child is studying in school, but as they get older and their schoolwork gets more complex, more specialized instruction can be helpful.

When you are searching for tutors for special needs students near you in Berkeley, CA, it’s a good idea to interview a few different candidates until you find the right fit for your child. You’ll want to ask each tutor questions regarding what subject matters they feel comfortable teaching, how much experience they have working with special needs students, and what their go-to teaching techniques are.
