The EDUFAX Educational FAQ

Question #40:

My daughter has LD. The college she is interested in offers a Tutoring Center, but in order to pass the finals, she will need a personal tutor. How can she get a tutor assigned to her?

Answer #40:

Students who know they will need specific learning supports at college should make sure to choose a school which can guarantee that those supports are available. Your daughter should visit the Resource Center or Tutoring Center before the semester begins and learn exactly what procedures she must follow in order to set up the support she requires. A school which offers services on an erratic basis is not the right environment for a student who needs consistent support. Support services should be investigated during the college selection process just as carefully as academic curriculum and other important factors of college life. If the school cannot commit to providing the supports your daughter is sure she will need, look elsewhere. You can find the home pages of these and many other colleges on the EDUFAX site. EDUFAX provides services for the Learning Disabled Student.
