Tailoured Lessons
They’re just like normal ones, except they give more attention to students with potential learning and physical disabilities. The locations are also wheelchair-friendly, with close parking.
Please let me know if you need a particular lesson plan or have any physical limitations regarding where we can meet. Zoom, face-to-face, or a combination of both is possible. I can tailor a lesson to suit your individual needs.
