Assessment
Pre and post assessments will be given to discover ability and improvements. However the assessments will be disguised as a fun game or challenge.Class Experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 3
How does your child measure up with other students their age? Are they ready for the next grade? Is there a skill that is challenging or frustrating for them? In this ongoing one-day a week class, you will give me a specific area to work on, or I can assess with common assessment tools to find areas of weakness. I will gently and patiently work with your child to become confident in this skill with games and challenges. Working one on one will allow me to cater to your child’s learning style and strengths. Through the class, we will begin to build a relationship of encouragement and trust which will lead to openness to learning and building self-esteem! I will use fun strategies to address the chosen skill. Isn’t it exciting to hear your child say with pride “Look what I can do?” Does your child need… Decoding strategies? Practice with one-to-one correspondence? Reading fluency or comprehension? Handwriting tips? Letter recognition? Number sense? Listening skills? Problem-solving skills? *Day 1 - We will visit and learn a little about each other, then we will get to work! You will need to choose one skill in one subject area to begin with, so we do not choose something too broad to cover in our short period of time. We will learn with songs, games, projects, and speed races - there are so many ways to have fun learning! The lessons will be created specifically for your child’s ability and personality! I will follow up with my observations and suggestions on how to continue learning in this area. And guess what?? You can take this class multiple times, for any area you want extra practice in. Each set of classes will be unique and adapted just for you! I ask that you schedule the class at least a day before so I have time to prep for your specific needs. I offer this class in a 1 day, 2 day, 3 day, 4 day, or ongoing format. Let me know if another format would work better for you! As a certified teacher with 20+ years of teaching experience and 4 years teaching online, I can lead your child to a foundational understanding of any skill within the Pre-K, kindergarten, first-grade, or second-grade objectives. I’m so excited to be a part of your child's success!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Oklahoma Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
HI! I'm Heidi! I'm so excited to meet you! I have a degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood. I'm TESOL certified and I also became a National Board Certified Teacher in 2008. I have had the most amazing experiences during my 17 years in the classroom and 3 years teaching online. I use each moment of my class for intentional learning and adapt the lesson to meet my student's needs. If it's possible, I like to introduce a topic and integrate it into reading, writing, math, and sometimes a craft to bring it all together. I can also help students master concepts by applying a variety of approaches to my presentation. We look, we listen, we sing, and move. Learning is so fun when we make it into a game or puzzle. Over the past years, I have built up a collection of fun ways to learn online. Most importantly - We never stop learning!
Besides being a teacher, I am a wife and mom with 2 teenage girls and a precious dog! We love to spend time together. My girls play soccer and swim; both sports take a lot of time. When we are not watching our girls play sports, we love to explore. We've been to many amazing places in the US - from coast to coast - learning about the past, hiking mountains, biking, kayaking, and swimming - and taking pictures everywhere we go! I'm excited to meet you and learn about your interests! We are going to have a great time together!
