1 hour per week. Students will play games of "switch it" along with the video lessons and have the opportunity to share screenshots of their completed online games.Class Experience
US Grade Kindergarten - 3
Each week a new well edited video lesson is released for you to view, pause, rewatch and study at your convenience. But, this class isn't just about watching fun videos! My teaching style is very lively and interactive. I often use my whiteboard, props and puppets. Together we will arrange letters to spell words with our target sounds. At the end of each lesson, students are able to practice their newly learned skills with online games and worksheets. Worksheets include a short story filled with many words with our sound for the week. The learner will read the short story three times. Each time, they are encouraged to be timed and write the time on the line. Students are able to share their worksheets, questions and comments in the classroom. If your learner is competitive, they will get the chance to earn top place on the leaderboard for our weekly Kahoot games. Each video lesson is aimed to be around 10-20 minutes in length. There are no live classes. Each week we will work together as a group to complete lessons, worksheets and quizzes.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Eastern Michigan University
Hello parents and students,
I encourage learning through enthusiastic engagement. I believe children learn best through curiosity or play. Teaching online has been my passion since 2015. I was an online English teacher with VIPKID for over three years and an Outschool teacher for ever since. VIPKID taught me how to engage with students in a virtual setting. They taught me how to use props, singing and demonstrations to increase learning. I encourage student output and participation during class.
I have a bachelors degree in marketing and science. I am an entrepreneur and business owner. I have also been in the beauty industry for over 15 years. I am a homeschooling mother to my twin sons and my two daughters. I am constantly seeking creative ways for my children and students to learn new things.Reviews
