Bi-Weekly Writing and Grammar Check-in

Hi! 

I am Ms. Louise, and it is my mission to ensure that every learner feels special and confident in their learning through engaging and interactive lessons and activities!
 
Experience and Style:

With 24 years experience teaching grades 1-4, my specialties are writing, language skills, phonemic awareness and phonics, and reading. Outschool provides a perfect platform for me to reach students as I love teaching kids in small group settings, as well as individually. This allows me to gain more insight and take the opportunity to modify my approach to match their learning needs. 
Hands-on, interactive teaching and learning is extremely effective for young learners, and this is why my teaching includes fun and engaging activities that will allow the learner to interact with content and make connections, improving overall learning success. 

Philosophy:

I believe that all children can be successful, grow, and become their best selves through time and interest investment from the help of caring adults.  Parents often tell me I am patient, and seem to have a calming effect on my students in the classroom, while setting expectations that will create an environment where each child is valued and respected by myself and other learners. My students have a lot to teach me, too- I enjoy learning from students as much as I do teaching! 
  
Education:  

Masters Degree in Elementary Education Georgetown College
Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education Georgetown College

On a Personal Note: 

I have been married for 24 years and have 2 children at home. My oldest is 21 and my youngest are 15. We have two cats and a dog, and when I get a chance to relax, I will likely be found in my outdoor hammock, but I also enjoy traveling. I could visit the beach every day and never tire of the sand and waves!

I look forward to meeting and working with your learners!
