What are the signs?

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. These signs can mean your child needs more practice with the plan at home.

01

Homework still ends in tears

The plan says shorter tasks and extra time, but at home every assignment still turns into a long fight.

02

Same goals, year after year

The IEP review comes around and the goals look almost the same as last year, with little change you can see.

03

You're not sure it's being used

Your child mentions they didn't get the extra time or the read-aloud, and you don't know what happens in class.

04

"I'm the dumb one in class"

Confidence is slipping: your child compares themselves to classmates, avoids reading out loud or gives up before starting.

Help that starts where your child is

The school team leads the plan. You can ask a tutor to use the same goals and accommodations at home, so your child practises the plan with one patient teacher.

Working on the same IEP goals

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.

  • Goals taken straight from the IEP
  • Small steps, one at a time
  • Practice that matches class work
  • One plan, shared with the tutor

The same accommodations at home

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, such as 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.

  • Chunked tasks and extra time
  • Read-aloud and visual supports
  • Breaks that match the plan
  • The plan used at home, not just on paper

Helping your child believe again

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.

  • Starts at your child's level
  • Small wins noticed and named
  • A calm, low-pressure space
  • What calms your child, shared upfront

Notes you can take to school

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.

Support that grows with your child

The goals change with each stage, from early reading and number skills to organizing work, study habits and planning what comes after high school.

Find Your Tutor

Free to sign up. Online, at your home or at a public library.

Kindergarten to Grade 3

Early reading, letter sounds and number sense, with short, hands-on practice that uses the accommodations in the plan.

Grades 4 to 8

Reading and writing spread across every subject, so the focus shifts to organizing work, using tools and keeping confidence up.

Grades 9 to 12

Credit courses, tests and heavier homework, with help on study routines and asking for the accommodations in your child's plan.

After high school

In Ontario and BC, IEPs include a transition plan, and a tutor can help your teen practise the skills college, university or work will ask for.

Questions parents ask

Does my child need an IEP to work with a tutor?

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.

Will the tutor go to IEP meetings or talk to the school?

Usually not. The school team leads the plan and its meetings, and a tutor isn't part of that team. 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.

What's the difference between accommodations and modifications?

Accommodations are supports, such as 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.

Are the tutors certified teachers?

Yes. Every tutor on Connect Education is a certified teacher, and every profile is checked before it goes live.

What if the teacher is not the right fit?

Let us know. You can ask for a different teacher, and our team will help you find a better match.

How do I get started?
