Award-Winning Special Education Tutors
serving Chandler, AZ

Creating a comfortable, low-pressure environment is central to how Adrian teaches — he's naturally attuned to students who need more processing time, alternative explanations, or simply patience that a crowded classroom doesn't offer. He adapts math and reading concepts into smaller, scaffolded steps, checking understanding at each stage before moving forward so nothing gets lost in translation.

Maurice earned his Master's in Special Education specifically to understand how different learners process information — and he builds that knowledge into every session. Whether a student needs modified pacing, multi-sensory instruction, or alternative ways to demonstrate understanding, he designs lessons around how each individual actually learns rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.

Patrick earned his Master's in Special Education from UIC's MEd + Licensure program, which means he's trained in differentiated instruction, IEP development, and evidence-based interventions for learning differences like dyslexia and ADHD. His undergraduate psychology degree adds a layer of understanding around how attention, memory, and motivation shape each student's learning profile.

Earning her Master's in Elementary Inclusive Education and Special Education at Columbia's Teachers College, Olivia is trained to differentiate instruction across learning profiles — whether a student has an IEP, a 504 plan, or simply learns differently than the standard classroom assumes. She breaks down academic content using multisensory techniques and scaffolded steps, connecting each lesson to the student's strengths rather than defaulting to one-size-fits-all methods.

I am persuasive and capable of developing rapport and trust, as well as experienced in influencing the attitudes and ideas of others.

Theresa adapts her teaching pace, format, and explanations to match how each learner actually processes information, whether that means visual organizers for reading comprehension or step-by-step scaffolding in math. Her range across subjects — from writing to algebra to study skills — means she can meet a student's needs without constantly switching tutors.

Kim's approach starts with identifying the specific barrier a student faces — whether it's processing speed, attention, or difficulty transferring skills across contexts — and then adapting instruction around it. Her background spanning anthropology and business gives her an unusually flexible toolkit for reframing concepts in ways that click for different learners. She holds a 5.0 rating across her students.

Rosemary's graduate work in occupational therapy included extensive training in adaptive learning strategies, sensory processing, and task analysis — the clinical side of what special education looks like in practice. She volunteers regularly with the Down syndrome community, giving her hands-on experience tailoring instruction to different cognitive and developmental profiles. That combination means she doesn't just know accommodations exist; she knows how to implement them in real learning moments.

Annie's graduate training in counseling psychology gave her direct experience with IEPs, learning accommodations, and the cognitive frameworks behind conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, and processing disorders. She adapts lesson pacing, breaks tasks into smaller chunks, and uses multi-sensory techniques tailored to each learner's profile — not a one-size-fits-all script.

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.

A PhD in neuropsychology means Bill understands learning differences — ADHD, dyslexia, processing speed challenges — at the neurological level, not just as labels on an IEP. He adapts his teaching to how each student's brain actually processes information, whether that means restructuring how material is presented or building in specific compensatory strategies for memory and attention.

James holds a Master's in Education and brings deep experience adapting lessons for students with diverse learning needs, whether that means restructuring a math problem into smaller visual steps or reframing a reading assignment to reduce cognitive overload. He identifies where a student feels confident and builds outward from that anchor point. His 5.0 rating speaks to the trust and patience he brings to every session.

Rebecca's graduate training in social work at the University of Chicago, combined with her undergraduate psychology research, gives her a sharp understanding of how different learners process information and what accommodations actually look like in practice. She adapts pacing, breaks down multi-step instructions, and uses individualized reinforcement techniques to keep students engaged and progressing. Rated 4.9 by families she's worked with.

Liz holds a master's in Special Education (Mild to Moderate Disabilities, grades 5–12) from Simmons College and has worked extensively with students who have learning disabilities, ADHD, dyslexia, and emotional impairments. That clinical training, paired with her hands-on experience teaching and directing tutors at a charter school in Boston, means she knows how to adapt instruction on the fly — whether that's restructuring a math lesson for a student with dyscalculia or building reading fluency strategies for a student with dyslexia. She designs individualized approaches grounded in each student's IEP goals and actual learning profile.
