FAQs for finding special needs tutors near you in Waukegan, IL

The hourly rate a private tutor for a special needs child charges near you in Waukegan, IL is $20.00 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.

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 Waukegan, IL, 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.

There are many different types of special needs tutors near you in Waukegan, IL. You can hire special needs tutoring services that focus on reading, writing, math, and English.
