1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Learners may be asked to complete some work outside of class. This is not a requirement, however. It is ultimately up to the learner and grownups, but could help move things along faster (if you are on a deadline) and provide further practice of skills.Assessment
Assessment will depend on student needs. Ongoing informal assessment will always occur. Initial assessment will occur in the first class meeting or prior to it in the form of an overall evaluation. Formal assessment will occur when applicable in the form of a final product such as fully revised and edited essay or book report.Class Experience
In this one-on-one class, I will assist students with reading or writing. I can help guide your learner with SAT prep, writing a formal essay or book report, creative writing, reading comprehension, homework help, or anything your learner needs. I will briefly assess learners to try to measure their specific needs or parents can tell me what areas they would like tutoring in. In our first session, your learner will read and/or write for me- depending on the skills we are working on. This interaction and sample will provide me with the feedback I need to begin planning future lessons using their unique learning style. I will then design our lessons around those results. As an alternative, learners can also complete an assessment prior to our first meeting to help distinguish a starting point, but most prefer to jump right in. Each session will be custom tailored to the individual learner. I will incorporate your learner's interests into sessions when possible. In the past, this has included writing and reading about soccer, The Land of Stories, Minecraft, and two-sentence horror stories, which allow learners to work on word choice, and use of descriptive language, adjectives, and adverbs. I will provide immediate feedback to learners by indicating strengths and asking leading questions to get them thinking about their reading/writing in the ways they need to be. Every two to three weeks, I will provide feedback to grownups including strengths, areas with room for improvement, and ways to practice skills outside of the classroom. If grownups want more frequent feedback, such as contact after each session, I can do that as well. Based on each learner's needs a goals, some skills we work may include but are not limited to: Reading Comprehension: Skills we may work on to improve reading comprehension might include decoding, connecting ideas throughout a story or nonfiction piece, using schema and previous knowledge as a foundation for the material being read, inferencing, monitoring comprehension and focus, and asking questions while we read. Writing Various Types of Sentences: Skills we may work on to write better sentences might include explicitly learning about the different types of sentences, adding on to simple sentences, using descriptive language, learning about and improving grammar and parts of speech, and the mechanics of writing- punctuation, capitalization, and spelling. Writing Paragraphs: Skills we may work on might include structure, writing and identifying topic sentences, providing supporting details and examples, breaking down a prompt, and using transitions. Writing a 4 to 5 Paragraph Essay: Skills we may work on might include organization, layout, flow, clarity, identifying and writing thesis statements, introducing a topic, using transitions, connecting body paragraphs, proofreading, and planning. Analyzing Novels, Essays, and Arguments: Skills we may work on might include addressing biases, remaining objective when necessary, making strong claims, writing strong and clear thesis statements, using and citing textual evidence for support, paraphrasing, identifying strengths and weaknesses in arguments, anticipating counterclaims, identifying symbolism, and interpreting meaning in fiction. Class is also by request, so click the "request another time" button and let me know your availability! We can also meet as often as you and your learner would like. I look forward to meeting your learner and helping them with these very important life skills!
Learning Goals
Learners will improve their reading and writing skills while having fun and remaining engaged.
Learners will learn to use and practice skills used in independent writing, reflect on their written work, and make revisions to create a final, polished sentence, paragraph, or essay. They will also learn about the planning (pre-writing) and writing process.
Learners will learn to use and practice skills used in independent reading such as decoding, monitoring comprehension, inferencing, and even conducting a deeper analysis of fiction and nonfiction pieces.
Other Details
Supply List
Students may want to use a pen/pencil and paper. I may also create PDF worksheets that will be posted in the classroom and can be printed once I know the learner's needs. Learners may also need to access a Google Doc to work out of. If this is the case, I will post a link in the classroom for learners to use. They do not need a Google account and should only work out of the doc using the link provided as that will ensure learner anonymity and contact policies are followed.
