*Please message me to discuss other days/times for this class. 

Welcome!
I am so excited to offer this semester-long, one-on-one English course that is designed specifically for your student. Communication is key in the design for this course. As a licensed English teacher, I am able to design curricula that is grade-appropriate, standard-aligned, and tailored to your learner's interests or needs. Whether your learner is advanced and in need of a challenge or falling behind and in need of significant support, we can discuss and create a curriculum that is right for them. 

I believe all students deserve a well-rounded education. In each English course, I will include:
- Variety of reading materials (eg. articles, novels, short stories, poetry, etc.)
- Reading comprehension and analysis strategies and activities
- Writing assignments of varying lengths (short response to essays)
- Strategies and outlines for writing pieces
- Creative and academic writing options
- Grade-appropriate vocabulary
- Guided and student-led discussion of materials

I am a kind, friendly, and energetic educator. I love to use humor in my classes, and I enjoy taking some time to get to know the students I work with. I believe that one of the most important aspects of being an educator is boosting the confidence of my students. I will be sure to emphasize the strengths of your learner, and I will support and encourage them while we work to improve their weaker areas. 

I would like to meet with students at least 3 days per week. I will assign reading and writing homework between class sessions. Your input is necessary when it comes to designing this course for your learner. While communicating about this class, I would like to know:
- Your learner's reading and writing strengths
- Areas in which you feel your learner needs to grow
- Writing samples
- Your learner's interests and hobbies
- Your learner's feelings toward reading and writing
- The grade level of your learner

Please reach out to me! I would be happy to talk about the endless possibilities that this course can offer you and your learner. 

**Please ensure that the schedule you agree to will be something that your learner can consistently attend. I can only reschedule up to THREE sessions per semester.**
