My son Tyler is Special Needs diagnosed with Aspergers. I looked thru several tutor options and decided on Connie. He is a sophmore at SUNY Brockport and she and Tyler met. I was a bit worried because it can be difficult to get Tyler to talk, but Connie was able to work with him and I feel she zeroed in on his needs and will definitely help him succeed!

Miss Anne C. came to my home to tutor my "special needs" daughter in Math and I am so impressed with her genuine kindness and her unique teaching style; both of which helped my daughter netter understand the material. Anne was patient and took the time to figure out the best way to explain concepts to my daughter. She immediately put my child at ease which made learning possible.

(Our son enjoys Rosemary's lesson a great deal). Rosemary has much experience with special-needs kids and can provide insights into their strengths and weaknesses. Rosemary also very effectively uses hands-on art-related exercises to emphasize the creative/expressive aspects of language and writing. This has been particularly helpful for our son, who has demonstrated artistic talent but needs help in writing. We have been very pleased with his progress.
