One-On-One English - ESL Trial Class

Hello!
My name is Kate.  I am a homeschool mom, small farm owner, herbalist, gluten-free baker, online teacher, and lover of books.  I have taught for over 20 years: home school, alternative education, small co-ops, and as a substitute in public schools. Additionally, I have taught English as a Second Language online with VIPKid and Cambly for over 6 years.  It has been amazing meeting and working with students around the world. I love getting to know each of my students and helping them learn new things in a fun way.  

All About Reading:   20 years ago, when I first began teaching reading, I was trained in the Spaulding reading method.  Spaulding is based on Orton-Gillingham and is similar to the All About Reading Program. When I was introduced to All About Reading I was hooked.  All About Reading provided the sequential layout that I loved from Spaulding in an easier layout.  I also loved the games that provided a multi-sensory experience for my students.  I love to use games when I am teaching.  I think learning should be enjoyable.  In my reading classes, we turn the All About Reading program into fun online games.

Thank you and I look forward to seeing your child in my class.

(A little about my family and philosophy:  I have two homeschool graduates and two young learners.  Throughout our homeschool journey, we learned, we grew, we did better next time, and we found success.  I believe it is important to meet children where they are.  To strengthen their weaknesses and support their strengths while having fun and encouraging them to be who they were meant to be. )
