Class Experience

I will provide 1-1 tutoring with a student who needs more instruction and practice with specific reading skills.  I need to know what area of reading the student needs help at least a week ahead of the tutoring session.  The session will generally be instruction and then practice.  I will teach and model the skill(s);  then we will both practice;  Finally, the student will demonstrate mastery.  The student can enroll in one class.  After one class a student can enroll as many times as needed.  

I have taught reading for decades.  I use a variety of techniques depending on the student's learning style and what has not worked so far. I present reading skills in small increments so that I can see what works and doesn't work.  Then, when I see where the student doesn't succeed I can teach that specific skill and move on once it's mastered.  I also work with students that have not demonstrated any challenges yet their parent simply would like a teacher to work with them to see how the student is performing.

Other Details

Parental Guidance

It is necessary to practice what was taught in order for mastery to occur. I suggest at least 15 minutes 4 times a week.

External Resources

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I have taught all of my adult life.   I have taught in many mediums - traditional classrooms, virtual classrooms, and a tutoring business which I established and ran for 25 years.  I love teaching and cherish the times I witness their learning.  I find that the times I spend with children are some of my most precious times.
I love teaching children everything.  I want to teach basic math and reading and help students that may need more instruction and/or practice.  However, I am looking forward to also teaching some other courses - some math tricks, identifying emotions, and how to best act from them.    I have 3 daughters and 5 grandkids that I love unconditionally.  I live in Florida and enjoy having the Atlantic so close.  
My teaching is based on small steps and positive experiences.  Those 2 items promote high self-confidence and academic success.
I am honored to work with your children and be a part of helping them reach their academic potential.
