Special Needs Programs Year Round

Is your child with special needs still experiencing challenges despite having an IEP and classroom accommodations? At Math Plus Tutors, we offer a year-round program designed to provide additional, specialized academic support in a safe and encouraging learning environment.

Our trained tutors work with students in Math, Science, English, and other subject areas, focusing on both skill development and confidence building. In addition to academic instruction, we collaborate with families to explore effective strategies, tools, and technologies that can enhance each child’s learning experience and help them reach their full potential.

Our program supports learners from K–12, as well as post-secondary students.
