Award-Winning Special Education Tutors
serving Peoria, IL

Every learner processes information differently, and Jessica adapts her teaching style accordingly — breaking concepts into smaller steps, using visual organizers, or finding alternative explanations when the standard one doesn't click.

She's patient, structured, and attentive to what each individual student actually needs to move forward.

During her years teaching second through fourth grade, Molly worked daily with students who had a wide range of learning needs, from reading intervention to modified math instruction. She pulls from multiple curricula and adapts materials on the fly — adjusting pacing, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and using multisensory approaches to make concepts accessible. Her 5.0 rating speaks to how well that individualized approach works.

A Master's in Education trained Alan in differentiated instruction, IEP-aligned goal setting, and multisensory teaching methods that reach learners who struggle in traditional classroom environments. He adapts pacing and materials to match each student's processing style, whether the challenge involves reading comprehension, mathematical reasoning, or executive function skills. His 4.8 rating speaks to the patience and flexibility he brings to every session.

Hans completed his Northwestern economics degree in three years rather than four, which required him to develop precise study systems and organizational strategies — skills he now applies when building structured routines for students who need extra support with executive function, task management, and academic planning. His 5.0 rating and broad teaching range across math, reading, and writing mean he can identify where a student is struggling and adjust his approach across multiple subject areas in a single 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.

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.

Brendan holds a Master's in Special Education, which means he's trained in differentiated instruction, IEP goal alignment, and evidence-based interventions for learning disabilities like dyslexia and dyscalculia. He adapts lessons to match each student's processing style — whether that means multisensory math manipulatives, graphic organizers for writing, or modified pacing for reading tasks. His experience spans a wide range of ages and ability levels.

Before graduate school, Casey worked as a certified substitute teacher in both general and special education classrooms across Michigan's K-12 system. That experience taught her how to adapt pacing, break instructions into smaller steps, and use a student's own interests as entry points into reading, writing, and comprehension tasks. She's rated 5.0 by the students she's worked with.

Brigette is a practicing Learning and Behavior Specialist at a Chicago public school, where she designs and implements individualized instruction for students with diverse learning needs every day.

Rated 5.0 by families.

Hannah's Special Education degree at Purdue includes dedicated coursework in teaching elementary and middle school reading and math to diverse learners — so she's trained in phonics intervention, adapted math instruction, and adjusting strategies when something isn't clicking. Four years working alongside special needs students in an adaptive classroom before college gave her hands-on experience reading individual cues and shifting approaches in real time. Rated 5.0 by families.

As a full-time special education teacher on Chicago's South Side, Blakeley spends every school day modifying lessons across subjects — reading, math, science, writing — for students whose learning profiles demand more than standard instruction. Her Master's in Education and broad content knowledge let her align tutoring sessions directly to IEP objectives while keeping the material engaging enough that students actually want to show up.

I am always seeking out new adventures in New York!

Lena's daily experience as a middle school teacher means she's practiced at adapting lessons on the fly when a student needs a different entry point into material. She breaks tasks into smaller, clearly sequenced steps and uses patient repetition and multi-sensory techniques to reinforce skills in reading, writing, and math. Her approach prioritizes building confidence alongside academic progress.

Co-teaching in NYC public schools means Rhiannon designs lessons daily for classrooms where IEPs, 504 plans, and diverse learning profiles are the norm — not the exception. She breaks down academic content into scaffolded steps, builds in sensory and processing accommodations, and adjusts pacing based on how each student actually learns. That real-world experience with differentiated instruction translates directly into one-on-one sessions where modifications aren't an afterthought.

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.

Five years of working specifically with students who have learning differences — dyslexia, ADHD, processing disorders — taught Sydney that the content isn't usually the problem; it's the delivery. She redesigns how material is presented, using multisensory techniques and scaffolded instructions so that a student with an IEP or 504 plan can access the same curriculum their classmates see. Rated 4.9 by families.
