Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 5
The purpose of these 1-on-1 tutoring sessions is to help your student develop their literacy (reading or writing) abilities. I can work with students from kindergarten up to fifth grade. For each session, I will personalize the lesson to cater to the student’s abilities and to meet their individual needs. The lessons will consist of listening to the parent's input and evaluating the student's level to determine what we will work on. Sessions will be adapted to meet the personal needs of your student. If there is something specific the student is working on in school, I would appreciate learning what that may be (if applicable) and helping the student to further develop those skills. These areas include book club, phonics, reading comprehension, parts of speech, different styles of writing, etc. I firmly believe in working with parents to help students grow in their education journey. To add, I would like to know what strengths your student has in English and what areas they would like to further develop. This will help me differentiate and personalize the lesson for your students. I will use the literacy standards for the different grade levels to determine what kind of content we will go over. I will work with students on the skills from the standards, as well as any skills that you wish for them to further develop. Please contact me if there are any issues with scheduling. I will try my best to be flexible in accommodating scheduling sessions. Refunds: In requiring refunds, please follow Outschool’s policy. Refunds will be given due to unexpected emergencies or teacher cancellations. If you have any other inquiries, please contact the Outschool’s support service (support@outschool.com).

Hello!
My name is Jacie Verstegen. I will be teaching classes that cover subjects such as elementary literacy, math, and STEM. As well as being available for one-on-one tutoring. I have been an elementary teacher for almost three years. I received my bachelor's in Wisconsin for Early/Middle Childhood Education and completed the Postgraduate Education Program (PGCE) in Wales. I have received professional development in Responsive Classroom and from Harvard's Graduate School of Education for Visible Thinking.
Education is universal. Regardless of where you are from or where you are now, education has made an impact on your life. As teachers, we are the master wielders of using the tools of education to open the eyes and minds of children. We have the opportunity to take our students on many adventures from learning how to conquer math equations to experimenting with science projects, and navigating through literature while building friendships along the way. For my classroom, I will incorporate what I have learned from my experiences teaching in the United States and abroad to create a cultural, friendly, and engaging environment for my students. It will be an environment where children will feel safe and comfortable to explore and become learners. I want to help my students realize that education is their ticket to a world of possibilities.
Outside, of teaching, I enjoy reading a good book on a rainy day, hiking in the sunshine, and traveling.
