As a whole group class, we will look at the different phonics skills each week. Learners will be introduced to one new phonics skill each class. We will review the common rule, read words practicing applying this rule and also spell words utilizing knowledge of the phonics rules. If time allows, students will be able to apply these rules to text by reading and writing sentences that apply to 2nd grade phonics skills. To review our phonics skills, we will play a game at the end of each class. Fun games such as Candyland, Bingo, Slides and Ladders, and more allow learners to practice the rules in an interactive setting with other classroom learners in such a way that it makes learning fun and helps build awareness of phonics skills in the English language. By the end of class, students will have a working knowledge of the skill in order to apply it to both reading and writing.

Welcome! Greater Gains Tutoring was started by Julie Chamberlin when she embarked on her Outschool journey as a teacher about 2 years ago. Since then, her classes have taken off, so much so that she became an organization and added on some other teachers to help more students learn and grow. Teachers that work for Greater Gains Tutoring are highly skilled, most certified in Elementary Education with a background specializing in either reading or math. Having helped many students have successes and gains in their education, we are confident in our classes and our abilities to help your learner make great strides. While our group classes are tailored to meet individual students needs, private tutoring is also available upon request. You can count on Greater Gains teachers to provide classes that both ensure growth and make learning fun. Please reach out to us with any other questions you may have. We look forward to meeting your learner and seeing the greater gains they can make when working with our exceptional team of teachers.
About the Founder, Julie Chamberlin: I am currently a part time stay at home mom part time reading teacher that loves teaching. I have a background in Elementary Education specializing in grades K-6. I am also working on my Masters degree in Curriculum Instruction with a Reading Endorsement. In addition to Outschool, I currently tutor all ages and subjects in my spare time. I love teaching English to second language learners as well. As a homeschooling mama of four, I am able to combine my passion of being with my children and teaching together so it's a win win for everyone! When I have free time, you can find me reading a book, listening to music, or playing the piano. As a family we also like watch sports, play games, and take walks together. Life is an adventure, and I love learning and exploring something new each day. I hope I can help instill that love of learning in your learner as well.
