US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 5
Beginner - Advanced Level
Welcome to my class everyone! You can take this class from 1 - 5 times a week! This reading class is perfect for anyone who is looking to improve their reading skills. I have an array of resources from early phonics and CVC word books to advanced reading with Oxford Reading Tree books. The books are fun and engaging and learners will get to know the characters - Biff, Chip and Kipper! Learners will be initially assessed for the accurate level of reading - this will be done based on their pronunciation, fluency, accuracy, pronunciation and speed. This will only take around 5-10 minutes as I have had lots of experience with level placement of children throughout my career, so I will be keen to get them reading. Then I will plan a set of lessons to suit your learner whether that be game-based, activity-based or book based. Once your child's reading level is accurately identified, we will read a book of their choice at their level - with guidance and support throughout. There will be no pressure on the child as I am a very calm and patient teacher and want to get the best out of each and every one of my students. Any Oxford Tree reading books or activities will be shown online, so learners will be able to see the book very clearly on their screens and can even be annotated by myself and the learner. Although there will be no writing involved in this class, comprehension questions will be asked throughout and at the end of the book - this is to ensure learners can show a good understanding of what they have read. The advantage of this 1:1 environment is that the whole class is made to suit your child and help them progress in their reading skills and become more confident. They will get to know the well-loved characters of the books - Biff, Chip, Kipper and Floppy, and really start to love reading. If you want another time or date that isn't available at the moment please feel free to message me as I am quite flexible. Look forward to meeting you in the classroom! :)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone! I am Laura from England in the United Kingdom.
I am an experienced Teacher and have been teaching for 10 years now, 7 in UK schools and 3 online. I have worked with children aged 4 -11 in various year groups. I have been on multiple phonics and reading training courses and have taught children how to read for years. I am a very calm but confident teacher and love to see children progress through their learning.
I am also a fully qualified Emotional Literacy Support Assistant and have been working with children in a primary school ages 5-11 for the last 8 years helping with all aspects of their emotional literacy. I have worked with both groups and individuals depending on their individual needs. I have experience in behaviour management, anger, anxiety, bullying, relationship building, self-esteem and more.
I was a Mental Health First Aider in my last practice and hold a Level 3 Teaching Assistant Qualification, Level 3 Health and Social Care Qualification, Art Therapy Trained and I have almost completed my Child Psychology Degree. I also have a Level 5 TESOL certification.
I believe children should have fun whilst learning; as happy, confident children are more likely to succeed in what they set out to achieve.
Fun fact about me - I have just moved to Turkey to experience new culture and I cannot wait to share my passion and expertise with children from all over the world with Outschool.
