Online Special Education Tutors across the globe

I am a qualified teacher with SACE. I teach Physics and Mathematics. I was not always good at Math and Science. Through perseverance, we can overcome challenges. It looks impossible until it is done.

I am a former international school student born in Hong Kong and raised between Hong Kong, Beijing, and New York. After graduating from Columbia University with a degree in Political Science and Economics, I joined the Teach For America program (against the wishes of my parents who had hoped I'd go into finance) and taught a variety of subjects including mathematics, chemistry, and biology. I also ran my school's after-school SAT tutoring program. As an educator, my background is in high school special education and middle school general education. However, where my strength lies is in my ability to help students understand their goals and how best to achieve them. I empathize with the high pressure and results-oriented environment students have to perform in, especially in Hong Kong, and try my best to approach all my lessons with this in mind. I welcome all inquiries regarding IBDP/MYP mathematics, economics, and humanities, SAT tutoring, and Admissions Consulting. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a certified Special Education teacher with extensive experience supporting diverse learners across various age groups and learning needs. My teaching background includes working with students with learning disabilities, ADHD, autism, speech and language delays, and other exceptionalities. I specialize in creating individualized learning plans that build on each student’s strengths while addressing their specific challenges. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and highly structured. I believe that every learner can succeed when given the right support, clear instruction, and a positive learning environment. I use a combination of multisensory strategies, visual aids, and step-by-step guidance to help students stay engaged and confident. I also incorporate fun, real-life activities to make learning meaningful and enjoyable. As a tutor, my goal is to help students develop essential academic skills while boosting their independence, self-esteem, and love for learning. I work closely with families to monitor progress and adjust lessons as needed. If you are looking for a dedicated, compassionate, and child-centered SPED teacher who is committed to helping every learner reach their full potential, I would be honored to support your child’s educational journey.

I am a UK- and Hong Kong–based Doctoral Candidate in Educational Psychology, currently at the final stage of my studies and awaiting my viva (oral examination). Educational psychology focuses on understanding how children and young people learn, and how academic and emotional factors influence learning within education settings. It is concerned with learning and development in areas such as schoolwork, routines, motivation, and how students cope with learning demands. Educational psychology supports all learners, not only those with diagnosed needs. Rather than focusing solely on outcomes, it attends to the learning process — helping make sense of learning differences, strengths, and challenges, with or without a formal diagnosis, and considering how support can be adjusted to meet an individual learner’s needs. My work is informed by professional training alongside lived experience of managing learning needs related to executive functioning and reading. This combined perspective supports a structured and reflective approach to learning support, grounded in an understanding of how learning demands can be made more accessible and manageable. Through my professional practice and doctoral training, I have supported children and young people aged 0–25 years with ADHD, dyslexia, autism (ASD/ASC), disability, and other complex needs, using evidence- and practice-based approaches to help students and families identify effective and sustainable strategies. I offer psychologically informed learning support, working directly with students (aged 0–25 years) and families in a freelance capacity. My approach draws on educational psychology principles and SEND practice, including adapted elements of the UK Assess–Plan–Do–Review cycle, to support structured learning outside of school settings. I do not provide diagnosis, therapy, or psychological assessment at this stage. Example 5-Session Structure Session 1: Assess — Understanding How the Student Learns Initial conversation with the parent and student, separately where appropriate Clarify goals and key concerns Explore how the student approaches learning and tasks Identify strengths and areas of pressure Clarify what supports or hinders progress (e.g. workload, task clarity, initiation, attention) Sessions 2–4: Plan & Do — Building Practical Study Strategies for Home and Independent Learning Based on the student’s learning profile, practical strategies are selected and co-created with the student and parent. These may include: Focusing on challenges that arise during homework, revision, and independent study Breaking schoolwork into manageable steps that can be completed at home with increasing independence Putting simple systems in place to organise homework, deadlines, and revision tasks Developing practical attention and focus strategies suited to home study environments Creating predictable routines that support starting, sustaining, and completing work outside school hours Reducing reliance on constant adult prompting through planning tools, visual supports, and simple scripts Supporting students to take increasing ownership of these systems over time Building confidence and predictability around learning demands, helping reduce anxiety related to mistakes or uncertainty Supporting students to understand their learning profile in practical, non-clinical ways that promote readiness to learn Session 5 (or agreed final session): Review Review progress at an agreed point (e.g. end of the month or another suitable timeframe) Reflect on what is working well and what may need adjustment Refine strategies to further support independence and sustainability This approach recognises that effective support looks different for each learner and prioritises practical strategies that can be used, adapted, and sustained over time.

I have spent the last 5 years in a remedial school teaching many learners with many different learning difficulties. I know my way around an IEP and am able to easily create one. I understand how to read an Ed Psych and scholastic reports in order to adjust my teaching to best suit the needs of the learners under my care.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I’m a Primary Special Needs Educator with 3 years of experience working in mainstream schools. I have worked across all key stages and with a variety of needs including autism (including Pathological Demand Avoidance), ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and global development delay. I can work on curriculum subjects as well as fine motor skills, social skills, and memory. My students and I have had many significant successes, the most significant being when I helped a child become a fluent reader after only reading CVC words. Other successes include improvements in times tables, number ability, comprehension, and spelling skills. Above all the academic successes my students and I have had, I am well-liked by my students and they are always happy. I have worked across all key stages in a variety of schools and in some cases in two different key stages at the same time, providing support, teaching on a 1-to-1 basis, in group settings, and occasionally with whole classes. I have worked with children with a variety of needs including global developmental delay, Autism Spectrum, ADHD, Dyspraxia, and Dyslexia, but I am particularly passionate about working with students who have special needs and challenging behavior. I have been praised by my mentors and Vice Principal for my work in this area. In my current post, I have gained experience using PIVATs 5 and Klips through discussion and offering my input for planning lessons independently. During this time, I have also developed my ability to teach phonics and deliver phonics interventions, working with multiple phase groups at once using various resources such as Letters and Sounds and Read Write Inc. I have also developed my knowledge in various teaching methods such as modeling, touch counting, and Kagan strategies. I am a friendly educator with a passion for making a difference, and I look forward to working with you.

Hi, I'm Teacher Ken! I've been teaching and tutoring preschool, grade school, and special education for almost 7 years. I absolutely love working with kids and discovering new things together. My passion for teaching keeps growing as I team up with amazing individuals to explore new ideas and take on exciting challenges! In my teaching adventure, I've had the pleasure of meeting students of all ages, from adorable 3-year-olds to inspiring 20-year-olds, each with their own unique needs. It's like being part of a special village where everyone works together to help each student shine! My teaching strategy is a mix of creative approaches, all centered around discovering and developing the most important and relevant skills. Sure, teaching can be challenging, but I see it as an exciting journey that we embark on together, making every step a fun and fulfilling experience. I'm eager to collaborate with people who are passionate about bringing out the best in themselves, honing their talents, and discovering new skills that lead to a more independent and vibrant life. Let's make learning an exciting adventure!

I’m Katrina Villarente, and I specialize in working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as a private tutor and Special Education Specialist. For the past nine years, I’ve been helping children develop skills in communication, behavior, social interaction, and learning—always with the goal of helping them become more independent and confident in their everyday lives. I understand that every child is unique. That’s why I don’t follow a “one-size-fits-all” approach. I carefully assess your child’s strengths and needs, then create a personalized program that is both structured and engaging. My sessions focus not only on academics but also on important life skills such as following instructions, expressing needs, managing emotions, and interacting with others. I use evidence-based strategies from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), including Functional Communication Training (FCT), to help reduce challenging behaviors and replace them with more appropriate ways of communicating. Whether your child is verbal, nonverbal, or using communication tools, I will meet them where they are and guide them step by step. More than just teaching, I believe in partnering with parents. I will support and guide you with practical strategies that you can use at home, so your child’s progress continues beyond our sessions. I know how challenging and overwhelming this journey can sometimes feel, and I want you to know that you are not alone in this. My goal is simple: to create a safe, supportive, and motivating environment where your child can learn, grow, and succeed at their own pace. I celebrate every small progress because I know that each step forward truly matters. If you are looking for someone who will not only teach your child but also genuinely understand and support your family, I would be honored to work with you.
