US Grade Kindergarten - 9
This 1:1 class is designed for homeschooling families looking for a bit of extra support from a qualified teacher to help scaffold the teaching for your child / children. The lessons are completely individualized to your child's and families needs and can include one, two or three of these subject areas. Lessons will run for 45 minutes (and can be adjusted to your needs). Lessons and subjects can be changed weekly to support your needs. As a Waldorf Steiner trained teacher, I can teach Waldorf Steiner curriculum, homeschool curriculum and alternatives to suit your child and their needs. As a special education and learning support teacher, I am also able to support children with additional needs. Some literacy skills to focus on (but not limited to): -Structured writing skills (sentence structure, paragraphs, essay writing) -Poetry -Language Conventions -Reading -Spelling Some numeracy skills to focus on (but not limited to): -4 processes -Long Division -Fractions -Measurement -Time Science areas to focus on (but not limited to): -Biology -Geology -Environmental Science -Marine Biology Each lesson will begin with warm up exercises (both physical and mental!). We will review previous lessons through activities and games before moving on to the next lesson; this allows me to make sure the previous work has been understood before we move on. I will look for the child's strengths in these lessons and use these to create engaging lessons for your learner. (Some learners are visual and will need more visual aide support while others are kinesthetic learners and will need to learn more through movement.) This is an interactive, scaffolded and engaging lesson for students to fill in gaps or move towards an area they love and are passionate to learn more about with the support of a teacher. Please message me if you have any questions or requests.
Learning Goals
Students will learn literacy skills (from structured writing to spelling rules to levelled reading), numeracy skills (age appropriate and can include the 4 processes, fractions, long division, measurement, time, etc.), and multiple sciences (as per year level). This will be determined by their needs.
