Note-Taking should make our workload easier, but students are often confused by what it means to "take notes." Teachers don't typically take the time to teach HOW to take notes, so what ends up happening is students either write down everything, or nothing at all. In this introductory class, your learner will be introduced to the basic principles of taking notes, why notes are important, practical strategies, and time-saving tips that will make note-taking much easier and more useful. Learners will explore the basics of successful note-taking, have time to practice, and leave feeling more confident. Class Timeline: Quick Introductions Let's Learn Note-Taking Basics! Students will take notes during this time. Please have paper and pencil available or if a computer is a better option, that is fine as well. Let's Practice A Challenge For You!

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!
