US Grade 5 - 12
Our sessions will begin with a diagnostic conversation and pre-assessments to gauge areas where I can help your student to succeed. Your student and I will co-create a set of goals and practices that will be the most effective based on prior experience. Some areas for focus include but are not limited to: -grammar -reading comprehension -speech drafting & delivery practice -structure support -academic essay writing -complex text analysis & comparison -editing & revising essays -research support -book discussion -annotating -note taking strategies -movie analysis Everything is entirely customizable to your student's needs. Our sessions can be discussion based, gamified with programs like Kahoot or Quizziz, supported with videos, etc. The clearer we communicate as teacher, student, and guardian, the easier it will be to formulate the most supportive plan.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their reading and writing skills to become stronger communicators and critical thinkers.
