US Grade 3 - 5
In this private, one on one, reading comprehension class I will personalize my time with your learner to make sure that each lesson is cultivated especially for them. The practice in our class will help ease anxiety for not only state testing but any reading tests in the future. Learners will have the opportunity to become comfortable with the format of reading comprehension tests as well as learn important test taking strategies. Some examples of the strategies we will practice are how to reread text to find answers, work through literary terms such as inference, text evidence and summary. We will discuss how to narrow down multiple choice questions, how to write complete sentences to open ended questions and how to support our answers with details from the text. Parents- please make sure to get in touch with me before our first meeting. While I have an idea of what I'd like to teach, I am happy to adjust this class accordingly to what your learner needs. Communication between us is going to be the best way to help me prepare for my time with your learner. Disclaimer: If there are zero learners enrolled in a class 24 hours before the start time the class is then presumed canceled. Cancellation policy: As an ongoing class, learner subscriptions are charged on a weekly basis. If a learner is going to miss class please stop the subscription by the Saturday before to ensure you aren't charged. A refund will not be issued otherwise.

Learners will familiarize themselves with reading comprehension questions and test taking strategies.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Oregon Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello!
My name is Ms. Taylor and I am so excited to meet you! I hope that you decide to take one of my classes. Before you do, here is a bit about me...
Educational Background--
I graduated college with a BS in Elementary Education and ESOL endorsement. This endorsement helps me to teach English Speakers of Other Languages but also provides me with more enhanced skills I can use to adapt my teaching for any learner struggling with English, reading and comprehension. Since then I have also received a TESOL certificate. I have been a brick and mortar teacher for six years now as my full time job. When I have time I love to teach online too! Between Outschool and an additional online tutoring company I have been teaching online for about four years now. I have taught students aged 4-12 both online and in school physically. For the current academic school year I am teaching 4th grade for the fourth year in person. I have also taught kindergarten, 1st and 5th grade in person as well.
Classes--
I am very passionate about teaching and move to make learning in our classroom enjoyable. I absolutely love to read and instill that same passion in my students. I am particularly interested in helping students identify letter names and sounds, practice phonemic awareness and gain better reading comprehension strategies. I strongly believe reading and writing go hand in hand. I'd relish the chance to enhance your student's reading and writing skill.
Fun Facts--
Besides teaching I love to travel, hike and spend time with my animals. I've traveled quite a bit in Europe and enjoy visiting my family and friends scattered across the United States. My German Shepherd also shares a love for hiking and travel. He often goes with me wherever I go. I have owned and trained horses most of my life. I began riding donkeys when I was 2 years but my passion for horses grew as I aged. I worked hard to buy my first horse when I was 13 and have held that love for horses ever since. I still have the two horses I bought when I was young. I enjoy snuggling up with my cats, a cup of hot tea and reading a good book. I am so excited to trade knowledge with your child about their animal experiences, love for travel or other outside activities!
I look forward to meeting your learner in the classroom! See you soon!Reviews
