Our online tutoring approach is individually designed to make maximum progress. Tutoring methods and educational recommendations are based on Mrs. Brinchman's extensive experience with helping students with learning problems, rather than the "cookie-cutter" programs often used by schools or tutoring franchises. A variety of interesting materials may be utilized to enhance learning, including hands-on manipulatives and multimedia. We teach methods that students can use to assume more confidence and independence with their work.
For virtual tutoring, the parent should provide Internet access, a laptop or computer with mouse and keyboard, and download Zoom software (free) to the computer. Workbooks may be recommended for purchase, to be used during and after tutoring for followup, if desired. Paper and pencil should be close at hand as well, for some activities.
Mrs. B provides a tutoring session report to the parent by email, following the end of each session, with attachments as indicated, such as work samples and academic helps.
Individualized, private tutoring has consistently been shown to help our student clients, over the years, because they receive personalized attention in the areas of need from a highly experienced, specially credentialed teacher. Study skills, help with homework, and remediation of problem academic areas are included, so the student can rapidly make progress. The student is taught strategies to approach his/her schoolwork that work to improve learning, even when away from the tutoring session.
San Diego Tutors is committed to making a difference in your child's life and future, by providing a level of excellence that can produce astonishing results. Many of our clients end up above grade level, rather than below - as they were - initially. Our interventions often improve self-esteem and open doors far into the future!
This may be the best thing you can do to enhance your child's academic future!
Reading problems are a particular specialty, as well as written language, spelling, and math. We can work on learning problems of any kind, including attention and learning disabilities. SDT assists with school subjects for grades 1-8th including General Math, Reading, Remedial Reading, Written Language, Study Skills, school support, help with projects, and test preparation. This includes homework or classwork, as requested by parent(s) or teachers. We can communicate with teachers on a regular basis, if desired. If a student has an upcoming quiz, test, project or report, these can receive attention and may be worked on in our tutoring sessions. Additional sessions are available, on an as-needed basis, to prepare a student for tests and reports.
Tutoring franchises often depend on inexperienced personnel with few qualifications, rather than experienced, highly qualified, specialized teachers. Other tutoring companies do not offer teachers with multiple special education credentials, background, and training. At San Diego Tutors, we provide optimal conditions in which to conduct the tutoring. Our sessions are private and individual. We often serve clients who failed to improve after many thousands of dollars spent on franchise tutoring - and the frequent comment is, "I wish I had heard of San Diego Tutors before we spent $8,000 - $10,000 at XXXX (franchise)."
Even one hourly session a week can help your child!
Students in grades 1-8 attend for a suggested minimum of 1-3 sessions per week*. The suggested time ensures that enough instruction is received to benefit the student. Some students attend for 2 - 3 sessions weekly, to ensure the quickest progress. Our methods are interesting to the children, so they don't mind being in tutoring for these time periods.
Students who are behind in reading or math by several years or more often benefit from double the amount of sessions, above. It is an investment worth making!
We recommend that you try us out to see what a difference we can make in a short period of time!
*Note: The recommended number of sessions may vary, based on number of subjects to be covered, known achievement gaps, and testing results.
Every student has unique needs for support, especially those facing challenges like dyslexia or other learning disabilities.

My daughter has been struggling with reading all year due to dyslexia, and I found Mrs. Brinchman on Yelp for one on one tutoring specifically for learning disabilities tutoring. I was initially nervous about doing Zoom tutoring instead of in-person sessions, but the entire experience has been really great. My daughter loves her tutoring for kids and has been making significant progress at school, overcoming her school problems. Mrs. Brinchman sends a detailed recap of the sessions on the same day and has provided me with valuable advice on how I can help my daughter. I only wish we had started special education tutoring with Mrs. Brinchman sooner...
San Diego Tutors (Mrs. B) has been a total blessing for us. My daughter, who has been facing school problems, was behind in reading and math. After many phone calls and consultations with a few other tutoring companies, I discovered San Diego Tutors and instantly knew it was the perfect fit for her special education tutoring needs. The personalized care and attention to my child's needs, especially in dealing with dyslexia and other learning disabilities, has been wonderful. The love and support provided have truly made a difference. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for effective tutoring for kids!
Thank you, San Diego Tutors, for all that you have done for our child and family. Mrs. B has always strived to help us meet our child's educational goals and needs, especially in areas like dyslexia and other learning disabilities tutoring. She is always professional, prompt, and prepared. From our initial assessment on Zoom, where we made great progress, until now, she has worked wonders for our child's development, helping us navigate through various school problems. With our busy schedule, she made us feel comfortable and was flexible. We have always had a clear connection on Zoom, and she is always prompt and eagerly waiting to teach. We appreciate your expertise and over 30 years of experience in special education tutoring and helping humanity through education. You are a beacon of light and hope to the world. May your light continue to shine bright in each soul that you touch because you have truly touched ours!
Mrs. B is a wonderful tutor, and we are so happy to have found San Diego Tutors. After searching for several months for a tutor, especially in Ramona, I encountered mostly uninterested individuals or college-age students. What a blessing it was to discover s.d.t and Mrs. B, a caring teacher with many years of experience. She is a true expert in special education tutoring and understands the needs of different types of learners, including those with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. This is the kind of teacher we all wish our children could have in school—so nice to have her all to yourself, especially when dealing with school problems and needing tutoring for kids!
San Diego Tutors has been providing exceptional tutoring for kids, focusing on reading comprehension and math for our 10-year-old over the past 1 1/2 years. The progress our daughter has made in just a few sessions was impressive, especially considering her challenges with dyslexia. Mrs. Brinchman's educational background and her varied style of teaching, along with her expertise in learning disabilities tutoring, keep our daughter engaged and motivated. We've noticed a remarkable progression in her learning curve, particularly in overcoming school problems. Mrs. Brinchman has been a strong advocate for our daughter and holds our highest regard. We highly recommend her special education tutoring services. Don't hesitate to call; it will be the best investment in your child's education!
Exceptional tutoring services for kids with learning disabilities. My son, who has been diagnosed with dyslexia, was testing at less than 5% for reading standards and truly struggling with school problems. He hated reading and anything to do with school. Since he started receiving special education tutoring, his confidence has soared, he loves reading, and his scores are now at 63%. He looks forward to tutoring every week and learning something new.
