Most families combine in-home sessions with online check-ins. We meet students where focus is best, and adjust when life gets in the way.
In-home
A familiar space, fewer distractions, and a tutor who can adapt pace and materials on the fly. For students who struggle in busy classrooms, this is often the right environment.
School partnership
When families share IEPs, 504 plans, or progress reports, we use them. Tutors mirror classroom strategies, reinforce accommodations, and communicate with case managers when invited.
Supporting students with learning differences is part of who Teacher Tutors is. The Director personally matches every family with an educator who has real experience with the specific diagnosis: dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, executive-function gaps, language processing differences, or autism-spectrum learning profiles.
Sessions are private, paced for your child, and built on what already works at school. Our tutors lean on structured, multisensory, and explicit-instruction approaches when those fit, and they know when a student needs a break, a different entry point, or simply a calmer pace.
After each session, parents receive a short progress note. Families can request a Director check-in any time. If the first match is not the right fit, we re-match you with a better one. Learning differences need the right person, not the closest one.
Three things that show up in every match, because they are what families consistently tell us matter most.
We listen first: what is hard, what helps, what the school is doing, and what has not worked. Then we build a plan that is diagnosis-aware, not diagnosis-defined.
For dyslexia and decoding gaps, our tutors lean on structured-literacy practices. For math, we use concrete-pictorial-abstract sequences and lots of language. For executive function, we coach the habits, not just the homework.
Many of our students arrive frustrated by years of “just try harder.” Our tutors lead with patience, model strategies aloud, and celebrate honest progress, so kids stay willing to engage.
Trusted by families and districts across New Jersey
Teacher Tutors works with families navigating IEPs and 504 plans, and partners with school districts to deliver supplemental and out-of-district services. If your child has a learning difference and the standard playbook is not enough, talk to us. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
Have a recent evaluation, an IEP, or specific concerns? Share what you can; our Director will help shape the match.
A snapshot of the most common diagnoses our families bring to us, with a quick look at how our tutors typically work with each. None of this replaces a formal evaluation or therapy. It is how we tutor alongside the school team and outside providers.
Structured-literacy techniques, phonemic awareness work, decoding practice, and fluency building. Tutors familiar with multisensory reading approaches and how to scaffold writing for students whose spelling lags reading.
Handwriting support, keyboarding alternatives, sentence-level scaffolds, and graphic organizers. We slow the writing process down, with planning, drafting, and revising, so output reflects what the student actually knows.
Concrete-to-abstract math instruction, number-sense rebuilding, fact-fluency strategies, and math-language work. We close gaps without skipping the foundations that the standard curriculum often races past.
Planning, time management, task initiation, working-memory supports, and consistent routines. Tutors coach the systems, including planners, checklists, and study blocks, and reinforce them across subjects.
Pacing adjustments, visual anchors, repetition with variety, and explicit vocabulary instruction. Tutors check for understanding often and rephrase rather than just repeat when something does not land.
Predictable session structure, clear expectations, special-interest entry points, and patience with social-pragmatic differences. Our tutors collaborate with families and outside providers to keep the approach consistent.
