US Grade 3 - 6
In this class, I will help your student memorize a piece of literature that he/she is working on. I will utilize the memory tricks and tips I've used over the last decade to help me memorize passages. Some of the pieces took me ten months to learn and take me forty minutes to recite. Depending on the piece and the age of the student, I will use hand motions to help the child remember the lines. I will also provide tips to help after and between classes so the student can be working on the piece outside of class. For example, if your student has a poem to memorize, like Edward Lear's poem "There Was an Old Man on a Hill," the student could have that memorized in just one thirty-minute class. However, if a student wanted to memorize Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken," that could take three or four classes together. Students can also bring their lines to a play if they need help working through the scenes as well as other pieces of literature like short stories or inspirational pieces.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hi! I'm teacher Veronica. I've been teaching for over 20 years. I’ve taught in both brick-and-mortar classrooms as well as online. I’ve been homeschooling my children since they were in kindergarten. I LOVE to memorize. I started memorizing large passages in 2010 and it's become an addiction with me. I'm offering classes that teach students how to memorize using classic poems. Not only does your child walk away with a poem memorized but more importantly he/she is learning a life-long skill of how to memorize and retain the passage. I'm also enjoying creating classes on problem solving. In these classes, students enjoy solving a mystery, but more importantly I'm teaching them how to think critically and ask questions. I'm laying a foundation of what problem solving looks like and how it can be used in our every day lives. My husband and I lived in Alaska for 18 years with our three children. We now reside in Michigan with our kids, one cat and one dog. One of my favorite things to do is walk around our neighborhood with my husband and enjoy the beauty. In Alaska we even walked when it was -30 degrees.Reviews
