US Grade Kindergarten - 4
These sessions can be customized based on the needs of your learner. A "pre-tutoring assessment" can take place or you can send me the goals they need to work on. The structure of the class will fluctuate slightly based on the topics we need but in general, I am a casual, discussion-based teacher. I give examples, support as needed, and love to play games, I do not lecture. I also love to incorporate high-interest areas and personal learning styles. It is best if the student takes the class in a quiet environment so they can remain unmuted for full participation. Semester-long tutoring courses can also include checking homework and creating customized lessons for additional instruction and practice where needed. Sessions can be for math, reading, writing, spelling, study skills, ESL, or multiple subjects. The age range is set as 5-10 because Outschool only allows a 5 year age range. If you have a child outside of these ages that needs tutoring please contact me to confirm that they can be signed up for these sessions. The length of sessions, the number of sessions in a package, and meetings per week can all be customized to fit your individual needs. Also, if your child has friends/classmates that want to do small group sessions (on the same goals), I can create group lessons to accommodate that. The most important thing here is that we work together to create a nurturing and supportive learning environment for your learner. Whether they are behind in their skills, thrive on 1:1 attention, need consistency, or to have a positive online experience ... I am here to help! Please message today and we can start working on a plan that is completely customized for your needs.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Grand Valley State University
I have 20 years of experience as a tutor, 6 years of experience as a classroom special education teacher & 5 years of experience as a homeschool mom. At the time of my graduation in 2009 I received a teaching certificate for elementary education & K-12 special education endorsed in cognitive & emotional impairments. I was deemed highly qualified to teach all content areas. The thing I love most about teaching & tutoring is working with a student who is having a hard time, they're starting to feel discouraged and not like school .... but as soon as they start to understand those hard things, they feel successful again, and their smile is priceless!
