Here is how other parents have seen their learners grow under my teaching:
Here are some reviews from classes here on Outschool to show what I mean...

From CT - 
Love this teacher! My kids are requesting more of her classes. Thank you teacher Kitty! 
Energetic and patient teacher. I accidentally signed up my younger son with his older brother and she made the class interesting for both of them and they asked to join another class of teacher Kitty.  Thank you !

From William-
Wonderful class. The class speed was just right, and our daughter was able to follow along relatively well. She benefited greatly from this opportunity to reinforce her understanding the solving quadratic equations. Thanks!!!

From Dillon-
This the second linear equation class my son took from Teacher Kitty.  My son felt he learned a lot on this subject and took very useful notes, and gained a lot more confidence than when he just started learning it.  

From Mary -
I am really pleased that our first lesson at Outschool was such a fantastic one. Kitty is really good and my son loved that he could understand her clearly (initially worried as he is not American or in America ) I observed that she really took her time to explain terminologies and she gave the class more time to really grasp the lesson. My shy son eventually came out of his shell and contributed to the class. We are looking forward to more classes with her.


Each week we follow the same routine so that learners can jump in at any time in the cycle: 

- First 5 minutes - Warm up and Pre-lesson assessment - 
Leaners will watch the teacher review the concept as they participate by responding on chats. This gives the teacher a way to find out how the students are understanding the material before asking them to do it on their own.

-2nd 10 minutes - Several problems relating to a chosen topic from the list above (these are rotated) are worked out by the teacher

- Next 20 minutes - We're off and running.  


Last 5 minutes - Recap
We always end by recognizing what we learned.  Students walk away with a list of concrete deliverables they gained - vocabulary words, concepts, approaches, and pitfalls to avoid. We always do a check with the learners to see if the session was a net gain to them.

Sessions are highly interactive, as I take time to ensure mastery and understanding along the way. Every problem that learners get stuck on is met with optimism and encouragement. These are opportunities for everyone to learn.  

My secret to getting students to mastery is making sure that the students truly understand the underlying concepts when practicing their problems.
 
I want to do the same for your student. 
 
Thanks for having your learner study with me.  I can't wait to see him/her in class!
