Are you looking for writing help for your learner in a private 1:1 session? If so, this is a great way to engage your learner with writing in a weekly tutoring session. Having taught many learners ( K - 5th) in Outschool group writing classes, I am expanding my writing instruction to private sessions. Many families have enjoyed my Little Learners, Pencil Pack, and Pencil Pal writing courses that have 4 - 6 learners, but expressed interest in having more direct instruction and time to work with their learner. With that said, I have designed a course to meet those needs. My private class will only have your learner in order to focus on individualized writing help. Prior to our session, I ask that the family to please message me and let me know what exactly you would like covered. Is there a specific topic they need help with? As a parent or care-giver, you know what's best for your learner and I am excited to help support their learning. It is important the tutoring is centered about their specific learner needs. I will use your feedback on what skills they need to develop lessons based on those needs. I will always include work on sentence structure (complete thought, punctuation, capitalization, etc.), adding details to expand our writing, and even spelling! I am a licensed teacher and hold a Master's in Reading and am Nationally Board Certified. I currently work as a school librarian, but have taught 2nd and 3rd grade for many years. Instilling a love of reading is important to me as reading is the gateway to all learning! It also is important to foster writing skills and making writing fun is one of my specialties. After each session, I will send out an assignment that will allow your child to continue working on skills practiced during our session. It is up to each individual family as to whether they want their learner to complete the assignment. I offer it to everyone and those that wish to take advantage of it are encouraged to submit it me at least 1 day prior to the next session. Upon receiving the assignment, I will review your child's work and provide feedback. If you have a particular day/time you would like to schedule a tutoring session, please message me. I have some sections already set up, but am always willing to check my schedule to try to accommodate your request. If you have any questions or would like more information, please reach out to me via the Outschool message option. Thank you and I hope I can help your child have a positive learning experienc

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am excited to have the opportunity to work with your child as reading and writing are key to learning! I was a classroom teacher in the public school system for 16 years teaching 2nd and 3rd grade. I also worked as a STEM teacher, designing and implementing the program for my school. I then transitioned to the library where I have worked over the past 5 years in an elementary school library. I love sharing my passion for books in all my Outschool classes!
I earned my B.A. Psychology and hold a minor in Elementary Education. I also have a Master's in Reading and served as a Fulbright Teacher as part of their Teacher Exchange program. With the onset of the pandemic, I was able to work for my state's Department of Education writing their online content for Grade 3 Language Arts and 5th grade science. Having taught just over 2 years on Outschool, I love to keep learning fun and exciting online!
I believe every student deserves my best and I strive hard to offer high quality instruction. I want your child to succeed and feel confident in the skills we work on in our sessions. I love when a learner's mind lights up and they "get it". Helping your child make those connections is part of the joy of teaching. It is my goal your child feels more confident and takes ownership of their learning to help develop them into life-long learners. I can't wait to work with your child!
