Students can join any week as I plan to read 1 story per week for 9 weeks total. I'll repeat these 9 weeks if there's an interest again. The stories are not related to each other. These are all published original stories written by Teacher Marsha who is leading this class: Week starting on 11/26 Story: A Magic Ticket Week starting on 12/3 Story: A Trip to the Supermarket Week starting on 12/10 Story: My Good Friends Week starting on 12/17 Story: Super Circus Week starting on 12/24 Story: All About Jane Week starting on 12/31 Story: Let's Go on a Picnic Week starting 1/7 Story: John and Jane Week starting on 1/14 Story: Welcome to Our Food Fair Week starting on 1/21 Story: My Red Bike Class will typically flow like this: Introduce ourselves I'll read one of my short stories. I'll ask questions either during the story and/or at the end of the story to give students a chance to make predictions when possible or to check for their understanding. I'll also make up questions for students to give their own opinions such as "what would you have picked at the store if you won that ticket?" When possible an activity time to draw a picture related with their answer to the story or their favorite part of the story. Wrap up the lesson, ask if any other questions, and show which story will be next week's class.

Hi Families,
Welcome to my profile.
I have a variety of group classes here on Outschool, but mainly focus on 1:1 English tutoring.

I am an experienced online English as a Second Language teacher as well as other subjects, and a mom of an elementary age child. classes.
I have been teaching online English classes to ESL students since 2012. Currently, I work for another company where I tutor children in K-12th grade depending on the subject.
I joined Outschool because I enjoy making my own classes and teaching people from around the world. As of now, I've taught someone from all continents except Antarctica and Africa.
Before teaching online, I was an Elementary substitute classroom teacher, nanny, and tutor.
I enjoy teaching and interacting with children all of ages. Some students have told me they wish class time wasn't over or how they had so much fun! I am able to be serious and also funny with puppets or other props depending on the learner's age. I am a friendly teacher with a calm presence and have seen shy students warm up to talking once they get used to me.
I have been told and know I do a great job building a connection with students and encouraging participation.
I am a published children's author of short children's stories meant for ESL students that are available in Asia. I have copies of my books within reach if there's a time to read from them like in a tutoring class. I'd be more than happy to read and discuss the short stories.
My family likes to play tennis, play games, and travel in addition to being creative and curious about life! We are looking forward to our next cruise this Summer.
I sincerely look forward to teaching your learner in one of my classes.
