Not sure if this class is a good match for your child? Save $10 on your first class with coupon code EDWARBZMUK10. Reading is a fundamental skill that can open worlds of possibilities to your child. In this class, we’ll spend 25 minutes reading together through an age and level-appropriate provided text. We’ll focus on phonetics, word recognition, and content comprehension. I’ll use explanation and positive reinforcement to correct grammatical errors and mispronunciations. I’ll demonstrate proper inflections, helping your reader bring the text to life and allowing them to immerse themselves in each literary adventure they encounter. This helps to not only build confidence, but gain an excitement about independent reading. Whether your child is just learning to read, learning English as a second language, or a teen looking to gain confidence by polishing their reading skill, I can help them. Age and reading-level-appropriate texts will be provided, and all content will be shared on-screen.
Learning Goals

Hello and welcome!
My name is Benjamin Edwards, and I love to teach.
I have a bachelor's degree in history with a minor in education. I worked for eleven years with children ages 3-16 at a recreation center and YMCA in my hometown. I then taught for three years in middle and high schools. I've spent the last four years teaching online to students worldwide. I work best with students in the 9-18 age range.
While I have many interests that I enjoy sharing with my students - American pop culture, music of the 1980s, 20th century films, reading the classics, teaching guitar, playing chess -
my passion is HISTORY. I live to share my knowledge of the past, its role in shaping modern culture, and the challenge of bringing the people and places back to life in the mind of a student.
I believe that the student should not just learn the material, but begin to love to learn the material, looking forward to each class and leaving them wanting to learn more on their own about the subject after class has ended. I believe that one of the essentials of a great teacher is connecting the past to the present in the lives of their students.
My courses will consist of short lectures, often containing video/audio clips, followed by student discussion and analysis.
I'm excited about the opportunity to share my knowledge, and I look forward to meeting your child and beginning an educational adventure together!Reviews
