HOW Can I Keep Your Child Engaged Online When Your School Cannot? 

​

My Online or In-Home Special Needs Tutoring

 is INDIVIDUALIZED to each student -

Online schooling's 

"one size fits all" 

is NOT individualized!

​

It's not taking into consideration your child's needs, nor his accommodations he is entitled to due to his IEP, nor his specific interests. I have been able to get a middle schooler to write several 5-paragraph essays for me when all he wrote for his online English schoolteacher was 4 sentences! How?  Why? Because I gave him assignments based on things he was interested in, or books he wanted to read, such as the Harry Potter series. Once the skills are built, then they can be transferred over to other "not as interesting" topics.

 

With online schooling sometimes there's too much going on at once online--some special needs children cannot look at all the faces at the same time on a screen because this is different sensory input than seeing them in person, or cannot engage in back and forth conversations with that many students online. Again, with a special needs online tutor, it's ONE ON ONE and I can change instantly what I'm doing to meet the student's needs, unlike a teacher with an online classroom who cannot meet any individual needs during online schooling. This is how the IEP accommodations have gone out the window, as some children had aides and now it's just mom trying to get him/her to do another non-interesting task at home.

 

Finally--I'M MORE FUN online than most teachers/tutors--I have a large amount of energy and enthusiasm that makes me come across very well and entertaining on screen! I also work as a behavioral therapist and I've been able to engage several very young non-verbal special needs children online with my energy and fun things such as popping up and down off camera, zooming in really close to my face as I make a face, and as you can see above--wearing Mickey ears to sessions! Your child will actually WANT to come to session online with me, as opposed to online school and I've had the personal satisfaction of seeing behavioral clients reach goals and tutoring students learn faster than they had been learning before seeing me online!
