Another group of students who do well with specialized
tutors are those whose weakness in basic skills are compounded by other
problems - dyslexia, learning disability, or perceptual deficits. Hilda
Coyne, a Learning Specialist with A-1 Evaluation and Tutoring, says her
approach to remediation is to "strengthen learning pathways" by using
art, music, and other novel methods to present information. For example,
a student may be having trouble because of a visual "difference" that
makes it easier to see in three dimensions than two. To help such a student
with math, Coyne might create a three-dimensional model of a math problem,
then advance to writing the same problem in high-contrast colors, then
in low-contrast gray pencil on white paper. The same applies in other
subjects.
