Class Experience

Do you see your child working hard, but getting frustrated with books that they find boring or don't understand?
 Let me teach strategies and skills to make connections with books that are often a challenge to read. This is a semi-private, tutoring session for reading and writing help. This is a great class for classmates or siblings. 

I am a certified and experienced English teacher with over 15 years of teaching experience. 
I can assist learners at any ability level. 

I use skills based on the science of reading and decoding. Depending on your learner's needs we may work to complete homework, have mini-grammar and writing sessions, or practice reading comprehension. 

It is helpful for the parent of the learner to communicate with me before a session about your learner's needs.  

 If you don't see a time that works, please message me!

I believe that students need to see the personal side of the world. When students begin to see a unique story in a history or science lesson, they become engaged and learn. 

   Learners need to see the relevance of what they learn. Then, they become eager to learn more. While I am a "trained teacher," I am also a lifelong learner. Because of this, I joined every teaching summer internship I was offered. I've enjoyed working with the SC Forestry Service, Oakridge Laboratory in Tennessee, and the National Archives in DC. Currently, I am working on a research project with the US Library of Congress. I believe these experiences have helped me connect with real-world events, science, and history, which, in turn, helped me be a better teacher. 

When I cannot travel, I'm working on my first young adult historical fiction book or reading about where I want to travel next. I speak French and love to travel to countries where I can immerse myself in the language. I have had the opportunity to travel to several European and Caribbean areas. Some of my favorite vacations have been to historical locations: the D-Day beaches, Churchill's war rooms, castles in Scotland, and WWI trenches in Belgium.  

 Reading is critical in learning, and I encourage writing in most history and science lessons. I have been teaching for over 20 years. My educational background is in working with early childhood through high school-age students. My first years of teaching were in a   preschool-age classroom. For the past 15 years, I have taught at the middle school level (general science, world history, French) in a public classroom. I quickly realized that I needed to become a reading teacher of science and history if my learners were successful. I have two master's degrees in education.

I look forward to meeting you in class.
