In this session, we can use it to best suit your child's needs. I will offer services to help your child learn to read, strengthen their reading skills, improve their decoding and reading comprehension, or offer extra guided reading practice. We will go through reading materials that are appropriate for your child's reading level and we will work on struggles that they have. We can use the books your child is assigned to read in school or ones that are of interest to him or her. Please let me know your child's reading level before our first session and what you would like for me to focus on. I have been teaching children to read for over 10 years so I have a lot of experience in helping children learn how to read and in building a good foundation in reading. I like to make my classes relaxed and fun so that I can connect with your child and create a teachable environment. My background is in special education and I have found with my learners a multisensory approach has been highly effective. My teaching style is structured but flexible because it is important to modify or differentiate your lessons according to your student's abilities.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their decoding and reading comprehension skills.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Welcome to my classroom! My name is Miss Rachel and I live in New York. I am currently teaching full time for Outschool. I have a passion for reading, math, science, art, and Lego play. I have taught acting and Lego building after school classes for pre-k thru second grade. My colleagues call me the ‘Queen of Play’ because of my energetic and creative type of instruction I use visuals during instruction to help my learners understand and follow directions. I genuinely enjoy getting students engaged with fun rewards, movement, and creative play.
I started with Outschool a year ago and I have been teaching for over ten years in many different pre-k classes as a Special Education teacher and a teacher working with neurotypical children. I have worked as a co-teacher in integrated classrooms and self-contained classes for children with autism; Parent trainer; a SEIT teacher and an EI provider. I received a bachelor’s degree in Special Education from NYU, and a master’s degree in Reading at Teacher’s College, Columbia University. These degrees gave me the knowledge to teach reading and writing for children Pre-K through middle school. I am a certified teacher for grades pre-k thru middle school. I am also a parent to two wonderful teenage boys and a dog. When I am not teaching, I love creating teaching products for my TPT store and Etsy shop. My hobbies are crafting, beading, walking my dog and reading.
Lastly, I have taught over 10 classes on Outschool and my favorite ones have been circle time, reading, dinosaur, and LEGO classes. I am an energetic, flexible, and creative teacher who is excited to start the new school year with your child.
