Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner - Intermediate Level
This tutoring session is based on the specific, unique needs of the learner and is customized to help learners apply strategies and improve writing skills. There are other specific private courses available for paragraph and essay writing, creative writing and a small group writing class specifically for young learners. Please message if you have questions. Thank you. 

For writing structure 
We focus on word parts, punctuation and conventions and use picture clues/illustrations as a guide to write more.

For writing clarity
We focus on word choice/nuances, spelling patterns and grammar points (tenses, conjunctions, etc).

For creative writing
We focus on writing elements and use descriptive words to explain the character, setting, plot, etc. 

For paragraph writing
We focus on the purpose, audience and tone as well as the meaning of a topic sentence. 

For essay writing
We focus on reading short texts for comprehension to formulate thesis statements, claims, background information, central points/ideas and supporting details. 

Enrichment 
We focus on research methodology, plagiarism,  bias, citation principles. 

These topics are not complete but is given to provide a general idea of the type of academic needs that have been addressed during these tutoring sessions. Students are always expected to please arrive on time with something to write with. Thank you for messaging beforehand if you would like to share anything specific about your child. Otherwise I will introduce a topic that I observe as an area of need. Here are just some of the topics frequently requested.

Students will be taught some of these key words and will be required to use the vocabulary to structure their paragraph. 

Learners will also be prompted to make spelling/grammar edits and will receive help through the Zoom chat box and whiteboard features.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Iowa Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Maryland Teaching Certificate in Special Education
Master's Degree in Education from McDaniel College
I grew up and went to school in the New York City area but now live in a small farming community in rural Midwest, USA. I enjoy working with and meeting people from both urban and rural settings and readily adjust to meet their learning needs in a culturally responsive way. I also volunteer at a prison and remain adaptable to ensure a supportive and safe learning environment. 

I have degrees in the area of Corporate Communication, Education, and Second Language Acquisition. My teaching background is varied as a former 3rd Grade Classroom Teacher at a French immersion school, Orton-Gillingham trained structured reading teacher and as an Adjunct College Instructor.

I believe instructional data is crucial to improve learning outcomes. I constantly assess student comprehension during sessions in a relaxed and encouraging learning environment.

I love traveling and learning more about different cultures. This helps me to support all learners in my classroom. So far, I have visited Estonia, Russia, Kinshasa (Congo), London, Togo, South Korea, Latvia and a few other places. I also studied abroad in France. With each travel experience my respect for people and their culture simply deepens. I look forward to meeting you too!
