Class Experience

US Grade Preschool - 5
Does your child need a little extra support in feeling comfortable speaking and socializing? This private 1:1 social skills class is designed especially for shy or reserved kids who may need a gentle, encouraging space to build confidence in communication.

Through fun and interactive activities, we will:

1. Play fun games that encourage conversation and self-expression.

2. Practice communication skills such as asking and answering questions, making eye contact, and active listening.

3. Socialize in a relaxed, low-pressure environment to help your child feel comfortable interacting with someone outside their home.

4. Participate in "show and tell" style activities, where younger students can practice sharing their thoughts, toys and ideas in a fun, structured way.

As we dive into our weekly lessons, your learner will develop their speaking, listening, and response skills. They'll expand their vocabulary, learn to use descriptive words, and gain confidence in engaging in conversations.

This class is ideal for parents who want to help their child come out of their shell while providing a safe and supportive space to develop social confidence. Whether your child is shy, struggles to make friends, or experiences social anxiety, my goal is to provide a safe, patient, and positive space to grow their communication skills at their own pace.

All learners of varying needs and levels are welcome to join this class!

What is my approach?
My approach with all learners is very patient and kind. I emphasize positive reinforcement as much as possible and let the students know that their hard work is paying off.  Throughout the class, students receive lots of praise—words like "You're doing great! Excellent job!"—to keep them motivated and confident in their progress. 

What is my expertise? 
I have over seven years of teaching experience, helping students develop communication and social skills in a supportive environment. As a formerly shy child myself, I understand the challenges of feeling socially anxious and strive to create a patient, encouraging space for kids to grow.
