ESL and FSL support
An IEP is the school's written plan for your child's goals, accommodations and support. Alberta calls it an IPP and Quebec a plan d'intervention, and these are signs it needs more support at home.
The plan says shorter tasks and extra time, but at home every assignment still turns into a long fight.
The IEP review comes around and the goals look almost the same as last year, with little change you can see.
Your child mentions they didn't get the extra time or the read-aloud, and you don't know what happens in class.
Confidence is slipping: your child compares themselves to classmates, avoids reading out loud or gives up before starting.
Not sure where to start?
Talk to your family doctor, pediatrician or your child's teacher. These Canadian organizations explain the signs and how to work with your child's school:
A tutor doesn't attend IEP meetings or replace the school team. You can ask them to use the same goals and accommodations at home, so your child practises the plan with one patient teacher.
The IEP lists goals, but it can be hard to tell what they look like at the kitchen table. Share the plan and ask the tutor to break its goals into small steps you can see at home. That way your child works on one plan, not two.
Your child may get extra time or read-aloud at school, then sit at home without either. Look for a tutor who uses what the plan lists, like chunked tasks, extra time, read-aloud or visual supports. Ask for breaks that match the plan, so homework works the way class is meant to.
Many children with an IEP feel behind their classmates and stop trying before they start. Look for a patient teacher who starts where your child is and notices small wins. You can tell the tutor what helps your child calm down, so lessons stay a low-pressure space.
IEP reviews can feel rushed, and you may leave without saying what you see at home. Ask the tutor for short, plain-word notes on what worked and what was hard. You then have real examples to bring to the next IEP review, if you choose to share them.
Wherever your child focuses best: online, at your home, or in a quiet study room at a public library.
A quiet study room gives structure without the distractions of home. Meet in an open study area or a booked room.

Questions about matching, scheduling or pricing? Reach us whichever way suits you, and our team will take it from there.
No. Many families start while they're waiting for an assessment or an IEP meeting. Tell us what you see at home and at school, and we match you with a certified teacher who has worked with similar needs. If an IEP comes later, share it with the tutor.
No. Tutors don't attend IEP meetings and don't replace the school team, which is responsible for the plan. What you can ask for is clear notes and real examples from lessons, so you walk into the next meeting with more to go on. You decide what to share.
Accommodations are supports like extra time, read-aloud or special equipment that help your child learn and show what they know. Modifications change the grade-level expectations themselves for a subject. Your child's plan says which applies where, and you can ask the tutor to follow it.
Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.
