As a certified Speech Teacher in practice for over 22 years, I know that children absorb material best in small settings and in one on one situations which tend to be optimal. In this ideal learning situation, students can feel empowered knowing what they are capable of and enjoy learning relevant language and conversational skills. It is of great importance to me that during this time together the student will make gains and an understanding of the material covered.  

In this one on one 30-minute class offered 1x's per week, your child will learn strategies that will enhance their vocabulary, language and grammar skills. During class, we will start with conversation and read a book which will focus on your learners area of interest. This will promote learning vocabulary with an understanding taught in a multi modality approach.  There will also be an opportunity to answer comprehension questions and zone in on social language as well.  We will then play a short game, either memory and or deductive reasoning based to enhance higher level processing skills. 

My goal is to help your child with interactive conversational life skills by expanding vocabulary and proper grammar. If there is a specific skill you want me to teach and focus on please email me at least 24 hours before class. It would also be helpful to me to know your learners areas of interest (ie. Barbie's, Pokemon, horses, Minecraft, etc.) so that I may tailor each class to your students interest therefore, making our time together meaningful and memorable for each specific individual. 

There is no prior experience or knowledge required to sign up! Please keep in mind that all the instruction given in this course is learner specific. Each class will be tailored to your learners needs. Listed below are some examples of what could be taught in a class for one on one instruction: short story sequencing, letter writing, story development, use and understanding of attributes in daily conversation, word analogies, learning abstract and concrete categories, over enunciation and oral skill, play based memory games for short and long term retrieval skills as well as rate control for easy speaking.  

Please send me a request if you don’t see a date/ time that works for you, and I will try my best to accommodate your requested time(s). I look forward to seeing your learner in my class!
