Customized, Inclusive Tutoring Aligned with IEPs and 504 Plans

No two learners are the same — and no two tutoring sessions should be, either. I collaborate with families and, when appropriate, with schools, to tailor lessons that align with IEPs, 504 Plans, or informal learning goals. My lessons integrate strategies that work for students with disabilities in inclusive classrooms:

  • Chunked reading and writing tasks

  • Graphic organizers and visual supports

  • Sentence starters and modeling

  • Repeated practice with gentle feedback

  • Support for executive functioning skills

I’ve helped students like Eric build reading comprehension confidence, supported Lulu with paragraph writing strategies, and guided 4th–5th graders through reading skills needed to succeed in the mainstream setting. Each learner deserves tools that respect their needs while encouraging independence.
