Class Experience

US Grade 6 - 8
  • The goal of each of these classes is to help students learn strategies to help them more accurately comprehend a range of reading passages.
Over the years I have loved helping children and teens from 2 years old to 19 improve their speech, language, auditory, phonics, reading and brain fitness skills and much more. I meet my students where they are at their level. As I teach, I adjust to help reluctant learners as well as learners who may need or want more challenge. I have decades of experience teaching each of these types of learners within the same class. I try to make my classes engaging and fun. I have a wide range of experience that includes teaching those on the autism spectrum, learning disabled students, add/adhd and many more areas of concern, as well as, experience teaching regular and gifted learners. I have found that patient encouragement in a structured and energetic yet relaxed classroom environment helps learners brains focus to receive information better and helps them become detail oriented.

I support all learners from gifted to those needing additional support (ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, ASD, etc). I provide immediate feedback which includes tips to help learners succeed. I require all of my learners to be supportive of one another. 
The class material will be screen shared in class. The passage read during class as well as strategies learned and a practice page will be posted in the classroom after class.  
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
