Good morning - I'm looking for a math tutor to work with my 10-year-old son, who has ASD/Asperger's, ADHD, and anxiety. Long division is the sticking point. He hasn't been diagnosed with a math disability but it's definitely an area of relative weakness. Any recommendations for someone who might be a good fit? We're in Fairfax but since we'd prefer to do sessions remotely so location may not matter. Thanks in advance! |
Mathnasium does remote lessons |
We have worked with Will Cook, a college student, with our DC with some learning issues. He charges $35 an hour, so might be worth a try for help with king division! Www.willcooktutors.Com |
Sorry! “Long” division! |
Hi OP
My son is 12 and has a similiar profile. He is also very frustrated with long division, though he is great with math concepts overall. We are thinking of trying one of these classes from Outschool: https://outschool.com/online-classes?order=upcoming&startAfter=AllUpcoming&q=Long%20division%20#us5m1iB1UF I like that there isn't a long term commitment. If he doesn't like the class we can just move on |
I also like outschool because it has so many tutor options. If one person isnt a good fit, try another. |
OP here - thanks for the help!

Honestly, we had the most success with DS watching numerous animated YouTube videos several times then practice on paper right afterwards. |

We've had a writing tutor for our ADHD/anxious son from Lori for 3 years now and she's a real gem. Lori (the owner) is a former MCPS teacher and super customer-service oriented. She tries hard to make the right match. We had a dud of a spanish tutor from her for our older son and she changed out the tutor very quickly and to our satisfaction a few years ago. |
Hello all, my son who is actually on the spectrum as well (very high functioning) is actually looking to tutor math this summer. He's 16 - just finished his freshman year at Walls High School - and would be most comfortable tutoring a 5th-7th grader. Any thoughts? |

If it is just long division I would move on and concentrate on really knowing fractions- simplifying, adding, sub, mult, dividing. One of the best predictor of how well a student does in algebra is how well do working with fractions. |
We found a terrific tutor on Outschool for my DD with dyscalculia. They do one on one remote sessions. |
