In our tutoring sessions, we will focus on reading skills your child needs to strengthen. Depending on your learner's age, reading ability, and individual needs, our classes will include a variety of work with the five areas of reading: phonics, phonemic awareness, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. Some activities may include reading short texts at their instructional level, rereading for improved fluency, practice reading and spelling high-frequency words, talking about word meanings, and answering comprehension questions about the texts read. Our one-on-one lessons will be highly interactive and at times may include short video clips or games to reinforce the teaching of a skill or strategy and to maximize student engagement. Assessments and inventories (such as surveys) may be given during a session to determine the student's current level, ability and interests and after time to determine progress made and to help set new learning goals for reading.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Sarah King. I love teaching kids to read and helping them read to learn! I enjoy teaching anything that is reading related, including the areas of comprehension, phonics, phonemic awareness, spelling and vocabulary. I also like teaching writing and social studies. On Outschool, I mostly do individual reading tutoring and I enjoy it so much! I enjoy getting to know my learners and helping them to grow as readers, as well as increasing their confidence and interest in reading. I also have a couple second grade reading and math camps that are fun to teach, as well as a few other interest-based summer camps. I appreciate Outschool because this platform has helped me with making connections with so many wonderful children and families from all over the United States, as well as other countries around the world!
I have been an elementary teacher for 22 years. I was a second-grade teacher for 17 years and currently I am a fifth-grade teacher. My experience includes teaching all subjects, but I am now a departmentalized teacher and teach reading and writing. I also have experience teaching online ESL (English as a Second Language). I have my master's degree in education and I am a certified K-8 teacher in the state of Maine.
I love learning and passing on this love of learning to my students. Learning is best when it is interactive, fun and engaging. I believe I am a patient, encouraging and especially an enthusiastic teacher. I love smiling and laughing with my students!
I am a mom and have two sons, ages 17 and 21. In my free time, I enjoy photography, reading, live music, yoga and taking my dogs on walks. I look forward to teaching your child!
