What will be taught? In this English/reading tutoring class, students will improve their reading comprehension, vocabulary, writing skills, and overall confidence with language arts. We’ll focus on understanding text structure, analyzing passages, improving grammar, and enhancing writing clarity.

What topics will you cover? I cover a variety of topics based on each student's needs, including:

Reading comprehension strategies
Vocabulary building
Writing skills (grammar, sentence structure, and essay writing)
Analyzing literature and understanding literary devices
Creative writing techniques
Phonics support for younger learners

How is your class structured? Each session is personalized to meet the student's individual needs. We’ll start by identifying areas for improvement, then set goals for the lesson. Every session includes a balance of direct instruction, guided practice, and fun interactive activities to reinforce learning.

How will you teach? I use a blend of teaching methods tailored to each learner's strengths and challenges. Depending on the student, I may incorporate reading passages, writing prompts, interactive games, and personalized exercises to build skills. My approach is hands-on and adaptive, allowing students to engage with the material in meaningful ways.

What's your teaching style? My teaching style is student-centered and supportive. I encourage creativity and curiosity while maintaining a calm, patient environment that fosters confidence. I focus on building a strong foundation in reading and writing, while incorporating mindfulness techniques to help students manage stress and focus.

How much will learners get to interact with you? Learners will interact with me one-on-one throughout the class. We'll engage in discussions about the texts, brainstorm writing ideas, and play games to reinforce concepts. I use visual aids like slides and video clips to enhance learning and keep the sessions dynamic. Students will also participate in hands-on activities such as word games and writing exercises to actively practice their skills.
