SNTutoring
Our program, under the nonprofit organization Friends of Children with Special Needs (FCSN), is dedicated to helping individuals with special needs find love, hope, respect, and support. We match special needs students with FCSN youth and adult volunteers to develop meaningful friendship bonds that last through all the turbulences and difficulties in today’s world.
What We Do
FCSN helps connect youth and adult volunteers with special needs individuals. They build a valuable relationships through online 1:1 tutoring sessions while working on any academic subjects or non-academic activities of their choice. Furthermore, with our support, parents and tutors can work together to customize curriculum/materials according to each student’s functioning level, interests, and needs. The tutoring time can be flexible to fit the schedules of each tutor and student.
To assure the quality of the tutoring sessions, an experienced supervisor will routinely review parents’ feedback and tutors’ after-class reports, then take action as needed. FCSN will honor all class preparation, communication, and actual tutoring hours as volunteer hours.

Parent Testimonials
“My son’s tutor Minjae has been wonderful. He came really prepared to the session. He used photos, videos, and drawings to help my son understand the concepts. I even learned a few things from him. Minjae is so young yet so professional, patient, and encouraging. I can’t express enough how thankful we are.”
― Yvette, SNTutoring Parent

Our Matching Process
We will primarily use each child’s interests to match them with volunteer tutors with similar interests. We also try to take into account any special requests you may have because we know that no two children with special needs are exactly alike and we want to ensure the best possible experience for each child and each tutor. Our supervisor and the team will guard the quality of the tutoring sessions with training, check-ins, reviewing supporting requests, and responding effectively.
