Hello welcome to my classroom! In this one on one class, students will be introduced to letters and their corresponding sounds through songs, games and engaging activities! I use highly interactive slides from the Joey's Koala curriculum to teach each lesson in a fun and entertaining way. I will start each class with a short review of letters we covered in the previous lesson. Then, we will listen to and sing a song related to the new letters we are covering in class that day. Afterwards, students will practice identifying each letter's name (for example: "Big A" and "Small a") and saying their sounds. Learners will also practice reading words that begin with the target letter's sounds (such as: "C is for cow") and playing interactive games for retention. We will continue this process from letters A-Z. Review games are included within my lessons and students will be continuously building upon what they have learned from previous weeks. Once students understand each letter sound, we can also begin to read simple CVC word (-at, -an, -am) families together and practice basic emergent reading skills (if requested). My approach with young learners is very patient and kind. I emphasize positive reinforcement as much as possible and let the students know that their hard work is paying off. Throughout the class, students receive lots of praise—words like "Good work! You're doing great! Excellent job!"—to keep them motivated and confident in their progress. If you're interested in this class and do not see a time that works with your schedule, please send me a message. I will do my best to accommodate to when your child is available to take classes. I hope to see your child in my classroom soon! Thank you!

Hello! My name is Amy, and I’m excited to embark on this learning journey with you!
I hold a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a 120-hour TESOL certification. Over the past six years, I’ve taught ESL (English as a Second Language) online to students all over the globe, working with learners as young as 3 years of age to adults. I’ve had the privilege of teaching over 1,000 classes, which has given me a wide range of experience with students of different levels and backgrounds. In addition to my experience in the ESL sector, I also have a strong foundation in phonics and reading instruction, and I specialize in helping young readers build strong literacy skills.
My teaching philosophy is simple: learning should be fun and engaging! I focus on creating interactive lessons, using tools like Google Slides and PowerPoint to make lessons as interesting as possible. You’ll find that I incorporate popular children's characters—like Minecraft, Pokemon, Super Mario, Paw Patrol and more!—into my lessons to make them exciting and relatable. I believe that when a child is engaged, they are more motivated to learn, especially when they feel supported and encouraged.
Whether you're working on letter recognition, learning to read or building English fluency, I am committed to helping your child develop the skills they need to become confident with the English language. I look forward to learning more about each individual I teach and tailoring my lessons to meet their unique needs. Together, we can make learning a rewarding and enjoyable experience!
Thank you for considering my services—I’m confident you’ll be pleased with the results, and I can’t wait to work with you!Reviews
