ELA Private Tutoring: Ongoing 55-Minute Weekly/Biweekly Sessions

**Parents, I'm here to work with you. Don't see any available sections or times that match your needs? Please reach out to me via Outschool message! I do my best to accommodate schedule requests. Please note that a session must be scheduled/confirmed with me at least five (5) business days prior to the desired start date. This ensures I have time to customize the lesson for your learner!**

This class has been set up as an ongoing English Language Arts tutoring course for whichever ELA topic the learner needs. We can focus on grammar and punctuation instruction, essay composition, essay editing, creative writing (any step of the process, from brainstorming to editing), reading comprehension through nonfiction or literature, PSAT or SAT Reading Test prep, vocabulary study, public speaking skills, listening skills, and more. 

You name it, and I’m happy to work with you to help your learner with the ELA skill they need to focus on most. This class is tailored to YOU!

If you are interested in reading comprehension or analysis practice through literature, here are some titles I have extensive experience reading and/or teaching:
-To Kill a Mockingbird
-Life of Pi
-The Odyssey
-The Great Gatsby
-The Scarlet Letter
-Romeo and Juliet
-Macbeth
-Night
-Lord of the Flies
-Fahrenheit 451
-Shakespeare’s sonnets
-The Most Dangerous Game (short story)
-The Necklace (short story)
-A Sound of Thunder (short story)

Please note: Mrs. Grysko may compile content for ongoing, nonfiction reading comprehension lessons or ongoing, text-based writing lessons with the assistance of educator-friendly AI. Mrs. Grysko reviews each text and its sources to ensure accurate and reliable information that will assist your learner. Furthermore, Mrs. Grysko personally creates ELA questions and prompts to ensure rigorous, high-quality practice material for her learners!

Safety & Communication Prior to/During Tutoring Sessions:
*When communicating with teachers on Outschool, please remember to keep all learner information private. It is appropriate to share learner first name, learner grade level, and learner age. 
*Parents, be sure to never share or send:
-student report cards or test data documents that reveal student last name, student/school ID number, school name, location, etc.
-photos of student work that includes student last names, school names, student ID number, etc.
*Additionally, be sure your learner has their Zoom name set to show FIRST NAME only. 
*To help Mrs. Grysko prepare for a tutoring session with your learner, please ensure you do NOT send photos or PDFs with any private information as listed above. You are encouraged to summarize the data in your own words. For instance, “her last report shows she answered 10 out of 25 questions correct for the Central Idea standard” or “he scored a Level 2 out of 5 on his last standardized reading assessment for the state.”
