Intermediate Level
Do you feel your child could use a little more help with identifying blends and digraphs? How about diphthongs, the silent "e" or the bossy "r"? Do you wish your child could use more practice with reading comprehension? How about increasing their already budding reading skills? Do you feel your child needs a more one on one approach to learning to increase those reading skills they have already acquired? I offer one on one sessions to help your child learn the skills they need to succeed in first grade, second grade and beyond. I can help your child practice their reading skills through fun games. We will play games using the language rules for bossy "r", the silent "e", vowel combinations, blends, diphthongs and digraphs. We will read short books written by me and increase the size of the book and the words based on your child's abilities. Our first few sessions will be for assessments to see where your child is at developmentally and discuss what you are looking for in the way of instruction. Are you more concerned about continued reading or the language rules? Do they know the sight word list for their age? For those learners already reading, we will be reading short passages and answering questions for comprehension. A dry erase board, eraser and dry erase marker will be needed for our tutoring session. We will not be using these items every class but I would like to have them on hand.

A Bit About Me:
I am passionate about learning and have been privileged to engage with over 900 learners from 25 countries since teaching my first class on Outschool in 2020. My classes span a range of ages and subjects, with a focus on full curriculum semester classes for preschool through third grade. I offer many craft classes, often by request, and I am always up for teaching a book club as I am an avid reader. I am always working on more too!
My Background:
With 40 years of teaching experience, I've held various roles, including Montessori teacher, private early elementary teacher, center director, preschool owner, homeschool co-op leader, and private tutor in math, writing, and early reading skills. In my previous position, I taught the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum and I have incorporated many of the basic ideas into my personalized curriculum.
We homeschooled our daughter from preschool to eighth grade. I have run a homeschool co-op, a preschool program, an early learning center, and scouting groups. I have an educational background in Early Childhood Education and American Sign Language.
My Teaching Style:
I believe that learning needs to be fun, and listening is just as important as talking and teaching. I am not one to mute a learner unless necessary but I will encourage raising hands and taking turns during our games and discussions for all ages. I prioritize active participation and mutual respect.
Something Fun:
Crafting is a lifelong passion of mine, encompassing quilting, sewing, crocheting, knitting, painting, and jewelry making. I'm delighted to share my expertise through crafting classes on Outschool, and I'm always open to requests for new or existing classes.
Communication:
I strive to be responsive to emails, typically replying within a day. My teaching hours are from 8 am to 6 pm CST, during which I also attend to administrative tasks.
Missed Classes, Cancellations, Refunds:
I pride myself on being punctual and ready for class. We do live in Tornado Alley and take storms seriously since being hit by a tornado last March 2023. I try to warn ahead of time if possible. I will reimburse you for technical issues on my side or offer a single transfer for one-time classes if needed. I will teach only one or two students. Some of my best classes have happened with only one or two learners. It can make for great in-depth discussions!
I cannot wait to meet your child.Reviews
