About Us
Welcome!
Hi everyone,
Welcome to my page, and let me introduce myself and tell you about my online tutoring services. My name is Sylvanna/Miss. Rivas. I am a former special education teacher. I co-taught in the classroom for five years and pushed out into my special education classroom to work with my special education students on various reading, math, and behavioral skills needed to thrive in school; and help them develop a solid foundation for future learning. However, I did not only work with special education students while in the classroom. I also worked extensively with general education students. In addition to having worked with special education students. I have also tutored students for over 10 years in math and reading from 1st grade to 12th grade.
How to decide if we are the right fit for your child? Well, within five years of working in the special education field, I was able to work and expand my knowledge of the various disabilities that special needs students struggled with daily in and out of the classroom. Among those disabilities I have worked with are: autism, developmental delay, emotional disturbance, intellectual disability, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, other health impairments, specific learning disability, and speech impairment. But not only that but by choosing us, your child will be able to develop those critical skills needed to succeed in the classroom within their own learning style. At tutoring solutions, we work with all types of learners, whether visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or multiple modalities. When teaching, we consider the student’s learning style, challenges, strengths, and weaknesses and will introduce activities for different learning styles.
Tutoring Solutions provides services in the following:
- Supplemental instruction in reading and math
- Online tutoring
- Online drop-in (virtual walk-in)
- Private 1-on-1 online tutoring
- Elementary standardized test prep (reading and math)
