Specialty Tutoring
Some students need more than standard subject support — they need a tutor who genuinely understands how a specific learning difference shapes the way they process information, stay focused, or approach a task. Growing Minds Tutors matches these students with tutors who have real experience in that specific area, not just general tutoring background, so support actually fits how the student learns.
Sessions happen in-home or fully online, whichever is more comfortable for your child — we don't operate a physical office, so tutoring comes to you.
Specialty Tutoring We Offer
ADHD Tutoring — building focus-friendly study strategies and structure suited to how the student's attention actually works
Autism Spectrum Disorder Tutoring — academic support matched to the student's communication style and sensory needs
Dyslexia Tutoring — reading and literacy strategies suited to this specific learning difference
Giftedness Tutoring — enrichment and extension for students who need material to go beyond the standard curriculum
Non-Verbal Learning Disorder Tutoring — support tailored to the specific challenges NVLD presents in academic settings
Why Specialty Tutoring Matters
A student with a learning difference isn't struggling because they're not trying hard enough — they're often working harder than their classmates just to keep up, using strategies that weren't built for how they actually process information. The right support doesn't mean lowering expectations; it means matching the teaching approach to how the student learns, so their effort translates into real progress instead of frustration.
We also recognize that every student's experience is different, even within the same diagnosis — two students with ADHD may need very different strategies, and we take the time to understand what actually works for your specific child rather than applying a generic approach.

How We Match Students with Specialty Tutors
Every tutor working in our specialty program has direct experience with the specific learning difference they support, beyond general subject knowledge. Alongside the standard subject-mastery screening and live teaching evaluation every tutor goes through, specialty tutors are also assessed on their ability to adapt pacing, communication style, and structure to the individual student in front of them.
How Sessions Work
We start with a free assessment where we learn about your child's specific learning profile, what's worked or hasn't worked before, and what your family is hoping to see change. From there, we match a tutor with relevant experience and recommend a starting schedule, delivered in-home or online. We stay closely involved after the first few sessions to make sure the approach is genuinely working for your child, adjusting quickly if it isn't.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do your specialty tutors have formal training in these learning differences, or just general experience?
Our specialty tutors are specifically screened for relevant experience with the learning difference they support — during your free assessment, we're happy to discuss a given tutor's specific background in more detail.
My child has more than one learning need. Can you still help?
Yes — many students have overlapping needs, and we build a plan around your child's full picture rather than treating each need in isolation.
Is specialty tutoring only for students who are struggling in school?
No — our giftedness tutoring, for example, supports students who are doing well but need material extended beyond what their current classroom can offer.
Can specialty tutoring be combined with regular subject tutoring?
Yes, this is common — a student might work with a specialty-focused tutor on strategies and structure while also getting subject-specific help in a particular course.
