Paying attention can be a struggle for any learner. This class will teach how your thoughts, actions, and daily habits can help you not just focus better in class, but actually improve your attitude, improve how you learn, and improve your grades! There are many reasons a student may struggle with paying attention in class. Learners will come to class with either a notebook and writing utensil or a computer/iPad to take notes. They will learn: *10 Tips for how to better pay attention in class. *Discuss why paying attention is important. *Learn why paying attention is important whether the material is difficult or easy because both can cause boredom! Learners will walk away with ideas they can implement immediately! My experience: I am a former middle school teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, I have spent countless hours developing lessons that are engaging to students and keep them actively participating for ultimate focus. I am also the mom to an adult ADD son so I know firsthand the problems that lack of focus can bring to a learner and their entire family. I am energetic and understanding in my teaching style and hope to spread positivity, encouragement, and hope to your learner!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Laura Smith and I am passionate about learning! I have over 20 years as a classroom teacher and have been tutoring middle and high school students for over 4 years. I offer a variety of classes to help with study skills, homework, social skills, and even a class on bike safety!
Professional Background:
I have over 20 years of teaching and tutoring experience ranging from elementary to high school. I earned my BSEd degree at the University of Missouri, Columbia. I taught with Columbia Public Schools and Liberty Public Schools since 1992. I currently am tutoring in my home in the evenings and during the day on Outschool.
I will provide a safe learning space where your student will be exposed to skills that will help them become a lifelong learner. I believe that all children learn at different speeds when their brain is ready and receptive to new information. Learning HOW to learn is fundamental to success. It is my goal that students leave a session with me feeling successful and confident!
Most of my classes are related to study skills and how to be the best student you can be. I also have a bike safety class and an ongoing choose your own book club!
Fun fact: My husband and I lived in England for a year in 2004. We enrolled our children in school there where I gained first-hand experience about schooling in another culture. We were able to travel throughout most of Europe while there which provided our family with valuable memories. I currently lead international group tours and travel around the United States in our campervan, Toaster.
I am always happy to answer your questions!
Hope to see you in the classroom!Reviews
