Finding A Local Tutor

Tutoring for college students with Learning Disabilities
From my junior high school to college career, I had to study doubly hard as the rest of the students because I had a learning disability. The teachers and doctors never could exactly diagnose what disability I had but believed it was a mild kind of Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD. I would need to work and study harder than anyone in my class simply to get C+ range grades. Repetition was the magic formula I would need to study over and over to retain the information. I often would have to depend upon tricks to get the information to stay in my head.
It was always frustrating having to work so hard at getting information to stay in my head. Most of the other students within my secondary school and college classes seemed to be doing fine and could memorize without a problem. But around my junior year in high school I stumbled upon the key to my success in school. It wasn't repeating the info time and time again, it absolutely was using a tutor. Having a tutor allowed me to use a personal teacher within the room beside me that I could ask any questions. It also allowed my tutor to discover items that worked for me personally and what did not. The personal attention is what I needed and allowed me to acquire better grades. I was a little bit apprehensive about having to leave my tutor when I left home for school.
When I got to college among the first things I did was to try to find a tutor for me personally since I knew I couldn't do without one. I visited my professors along with the disability services building and had little help locating a tutor for my classes. Finally after using one of the online tutor searching websites I had been able to find a local tutor. Finding a tutor online was an excellent option for me because I was able to learn about the tutor before I started with him as well as read other people's reviews about him. And the best part about the whole thing was that he only charged $25 by the hour. He was much cheaper than my high school tutor.
My college tutor over time started to learn my strengths and weakness and areas that I needed extra assistance with. He also could establish the most effective way for me to learn with my learning disability. My college grades did start to improve again and I actually stopped worrying about failing out of college. Had I not been able to find a college tutor online, I probably never would've found one.
