Child with IEP declining academically - tutor?
Hello, As a parent of a child who is struggling with math, reading, and writing, I am seeking advice and assistance from other parents in finding a suitable tutor. My family and I immigrated to the United States two years ago, and my child is currently receiving support through the IEP program at school. However, despite attending a special day class, my child's academic progress has significantly declined since our arrival in the US. We are hoping to find a tutor who can provide additional academic support and help our child succeed in school. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated..

Given that your child already has an IEP and is placed in a special day class, I would look for an educational therapist vs a tutor- ed therapists are more highly trained in supporting the specific learning needs of kids with disabilities. I don't have personal experience but one option in Oakland is Strategies for Learning.
I agree, educational therapist!
My child is working with Amber Taylor for math. She’s very skilled and was a sped teacher before becoming an Ed therapist. But it is virtual. Not sure if that’s a match for you.
