Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Are you looking for one-on-one English support for your child? I can help with beginning reading (including for dyslexic learners), reading comprehension, literary analysis, creative writing, essay writing, and gifted education!

-Gentle & encouraging
-Experience with neurodivergent learners
-Creative approach
-Celebration of every contribution and success
-Interactive activities including drama, dramatic reading, annotation, singing, brainstorming, tables, illustration, art, games, wordplay, creative writing, and personal projects
-Systematic, multisensory phonics instruction with fun, adventurous decodable readers that I have created for my learners
-Critical thinking questions and discussion beyond simple reading comprehension
-Comparison with other novels, short stories, articles, poems, and real life
-Personalized lessons based on years of teaching experience, your child's needs, your goals, and the American Common Core Standards and/or Ontario English Curriculum (other curriculum standards available upon request)

Sample projects my learners have completed:
🌟make a song to remember words
🌟conduct research & design a game
🌟self-publish a book
🌟read and annotate a novel
🌟rewrite a book from another point of view
🌟illustrate a story
🌟fill in a characterization chart
🌟plan, write, revise, and edit an essay
🌟add music and sound effects for a reader's theatre
🌟use puppets to roleplay the story
🌟complete a scavenger hunt by scanning for vocabulary in the novel
🌟write as the character in their diary
🌟create a poster advertising a new version of the story and pitch your idea
🌟choose music for a production of the story
🌟write a summarizing poem
🌟illustrate a poem
🌟write an alternate ending or a sequel
🌟find examples of figurative language and syntax

Tell me what your child needs support with and whether you/they have any preferred novels or materials to use in our lessons. The lessons will differ based on your input and the learner's needs.
