Homework
1 hour per week. No outside homework will be given. However, if necessary, the learner may need or want to spend some additional time completing assignments between classes. Occasionally parents request that I create extra assignments for the learner to do outside of class. This would require extra preparation on my part, so I'll simply recommend websites or reading lists.
Assessment
Students are given feedback and suggestions as part of each class.

Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 8
Intermediate - Advanced Level
This is a 2-day-a-week 2 week long, one-to-one tutoring class. It is not a 4-week set, so classes must be booked within two weeks. 

Classes are 50 minutes long.  The learner will be given help focusing on reading and writing skills to get ready for the next grade level. We will read a mix of fiction and nonfiction texts and discuss the critical elements in each selection. Learners will practice completing questions similar to those on state standardized tests, including single-paragraph written responses and essays, depending on grade level expectations. 

Skills practice will include elements of fiction during week one, as well as nonfiction in week two, with writing assignments included each week. I will assist with guiding students through the writing process, including finding and incorporating strong text evidence into their work, revising their writing, and finally editing for grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I will also help your child learn some basic formulas for writing analytical essays and constructed response writing. These tutoring sessions can also be tailored to fit the learner’s circumstances and needs. 

These are set up as 2 sessions per week for 2 weeks. Parent communication at least 48 hours before the first session is required to help me plan for instruction and allow me to select appropriate reading material. Sharing information about your learner's background and needs helps me do a better job! 

Through my 20-plus years of teaching experience, I have taken pride in my role as a writing coach. Developing warm relationships with my students is important, and I get great joy when former students visit or message me to brag about how well they are doing because of the writing skills they mastered in my classes.

Learning Goals

The student will receive one-on-one ELA help and gain a stronger proficiency in language arts.

Other Details

External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
I'll share reading material, graphic organizers, or other materials with learners. I'll screen-share or post materials in the Outschool Classroom. Students will need to use a computer that allows them to open the link for the Google Drive document that we'll be using during class. Some learners have difficulty writing using an iPad, so a laptop is needed.
