Colin
MS Johns Hopkins University
1+ Years Tutoring

Colin is a certified special educator whose classroom experience spans multiple grade levels and learning profiles, from students with dyslexia and ADHD to those on the autism spectrum. He designs each session around a student's specific IEP goals and learning style — visual aids for one learner, movement-based activities for another — rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. That individualized structure builds both academic skills and the confidence students need to advocate for themselves in the classroom.

Hannah
BA Washington University in St. Louis
14+ Years Tutoring

Working professionally with young adults on the autism spectrum taught Hannah something most tutors learn slowly: every learner's brain organizes information differently, and instruction has to adapt in real time. She designs sessions around each student's specific processing style — whether that means breaking multi-step directions into visual checklists, adjusting pacing, or finding alternative ways into a concept that traditional instruction missed. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that individualized approach works.
