Each week, students will be given a surprise picture to paint during class. For more authenticity, pictures can be printed on water color paper, however this is not required. You are welcome to print on regular copy paper as well. Students will be encouraged to paint the picture and discuss it with their friends. If your child would prefer to use crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels, etc, from time to time, that is acceptable too. While paint makes it a little more fun, I also realize it makes it a little more messy to clean up and parents sometimes just don't have the time for that. No worries! The goal is to create something beautiful our kiddos can be proud of and to converse with our friends. While having fun with their friends, our kids will be developing their fine motor skills, hand eye coordination, communication skills, and social skills. We will begin class with a welcome and introductions. Students are encouraged to say their names and something they enjoy doing. Then students will be encouraged to start their paintings. Throughout the class, I will encourage each student to share the progress of their art: what colors they are choosing, what they are proud of, etc. The last few minutes will be given to students who choose to share their final product.

I have been teaching for over 15 years in various areas of education. I believe learning should be fun. I enjoy teaching reading, writing, and the English language. I also enjoy teaching classes that keep us moving - my kids are very active! My class offerings will include phonics/reading, writing, the English language (ESL, ELL) history and geography, art, and science. My one-on-one class offerings will include tutoring options in reading, writing, math, research projects, and the English language.
I have a Master's degree from the University of Rochester and a teaching license from the state of New York. I spent several years teaching high school level history courses to students ages 15-18, tutoring various subjects to students of all ages, and coaching. I have been teaching ESL online for over 2 years and enjoy the on-line format. I also currently homeschool our two children.
I enjoy spending time with family and seeing the excitement of discovery on my kids' faces when they learn something new. We enjoy reading, hiking, and exploring new adventures together. I hope you will join me on the next fun adventure!Reviews
