If your kid is falling behind in school work, then tutoring could help in boosting those grades.  But if your child has a diagnosed learning disability (LD), then you should have a specialized tutor that can handle the disability.

Children with disability cannot improve on their own, they need somebody to help them and show them how to learn easily.  Most people would think that learning disabilities are intellectual defects, but actually is has something to do with how the brain functions.  Problems in processing sensory information are reasons for learning disabilities.

The most common learning disabilities are:

• Dyslexia – Children with dyslexia would experience problem in processing language.  They would encounter problem in reading, writing, spelling and speaking.

• Dyscalculia -  Children with dyscalculia would mainly have problems in math.  In general, they would have difficulty in solving math problems, understanding time and using money.
