My individual tutoring sessions allow me to create a programme focused on a specific student's needs and interests. In all of my lessons, students can expect to do lots of reading, writing, and thinking. As background knowledge is essential to literacy, students will also learn about lots of new and interesting topics. I will discuss your needs and begin with some assessment activities before we get started. Typical tutoring work includes: - Reading, discussing, and annotating articles and short literary texts together. - Talking, thinking, and writing about thought-provoking ideas. - Lots of sentence-level writing tasks to take the mystery out of crafting clear, concise sentences. - Practicing using new vocabulary in context. - Planning and writing paragraphs and essays together. This class is for those who want a bundle of six one-hour sessions. If you want to arrange ongoing tutoring, please see my other class listings. I also offer tutoring for high school students - just get in touch!
Learning Goals
Goals will be set for each student in collaboration with the student and their caregiver.

Teacher expertise and credentials
***PLEASE READ*** Hello! Unfortunately I am not offering any classes at the moment as I have returned to full-time classroom teaching. I will not be responding to class requests at this time. Please feel free to follow my profile to hear if and when I open new classes.
Hi! My name is Lizzie Grace, and I teach English and literacy classes from my home in Auckland, New Zealand. I have a bachelor's degree in English and Education, and a Masters of Education.
My mission is to help students read carefully, write clearly, and think deeply. I believe that these are some of the most important skills for doing great work and making the world a better place.
My most popular classes focus on building writing skills using a systematic, step-by-step method that demystifies writing great sentences, paragraphs, and essays. Students can try out parts of this method through my one-time classes, "Sparkling Sentences for Excellent Essays" and "Powerful Paragraphs for Excellent Essays," or they can work through the whole writing process in my eight-week course, "Argumentative Writing Step-By-Step."
I also offer writing-intensive literature classes. In these classes, we use writing and discussion to deepen our knowledge of the text and push us to think about the text in different ways. Students leave my literature classes not only with a strong understanding of the text, but with background knowledge that will serve them well in their future reading, and the ability to see connections between books and the world around them, as well as stronger writing skills.
Finally, I also offer one-on-one tutoring for middle and high school students. In these private sessions, I tailor our work to suit each student's individual strengths, weaknesses, and interests, so that every student can become a confident reader, writer, and thinker.Reviews
