Special Education Support

Special Needs & IEP Tutoring for K–5 in Chandler & East Valley AZ

Some children need a tutor who genuinely understands learning differences — not someone who just re-teaches the worksheet louder. I'm a dual-certified special and elementary educator who has spent my career helping kids with IEPs, ADHD, and diverse learning profiles feel capable again.

Why Julie

Real special-education expertise, not a side specialty

I hold a Bachelor's in Special Education and Elementary Education and a Master's in Elementary Education, and I'm certified in both general and special education. Over 36+ years I've worked with all kinds of learners across self-contained, resource, and inclusion settings — so I've seen, firsthand, what helps kids who learn differently actually move forward.

That experience matters most in the small moments: knowing when to slow down, how to break a task into steps, when a child needs a brain break, and how to keep a frustrated learner from giving up.

The Approach

Tutoring built around your child's plan

Every child gets an individualized approach. Where an IEP or 504 plan exists, I align tutoring to its goals so sessions reinforce — not contradict — what the school team is working toward. With your permission, I'm also glad to coordinate with your child's classroom teacher.

Sessions are fully online, one-on-one, and 60 minutes.

Who This Helps

This is a good fit if your child…

Arizona ESA

IEP & special-needs tutoring is ESA-eligible

Many families of students with disabilities use ESA funds for exactly this kind of support. Chandler Tutoring is an approved ESA vendor on ClassWallet, and I handle the ESA-friendly invoicing — see my ESA page or the 2026 ESA tutoring guide.
