Homework

Informal assessments will take place every few classes to ensure comprehension, or at parent request.Class Experience
In this ongoing and private tutoring course, students will receive a personalized learning plan. Our first session will include an informal assessment to establish the learner's level. Both this assessment and input from parents will determine the topic(s) of the subsequent classes (individualized learning plan) for the student. I will use many interactive features in the lessons, including: interactive lessons, games/activities, and songs. I will also use TPR (total physical response) and props to further engage the student and increase comprehension. I am a patient, friendly, reliable teacher that can adjust my teaching style according to the student. I have a 120hr TESOL certificate and two years of experience teaching ESL learners online for companies such as Palfish, VIPKid, GoGoKid, and Magic Ears in China, and Egg School in South Korea. I have also tutored students in local schools (ie., reading help, homework help, social skills).
Learning Goals
Students will improve their English speaking, reading, and/or writing on an individual basis.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Savannah Ward. I'm so excited to be teaching on Outschool!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a minor in Psychology. I have a wide range of experience with youth from volunteering for summer camps to mentoring youth 1:1. I have tutored children as part of this mentorship, as well as part of my Social Work Practicum. I also have experience facilitating and co-facilitating pre-teen social groups.
I have a TESOL teaching certificate, and 2 years of experience teaching ESL to children online for companies such as Palfish, VIPKid, GoGoKid, and Magic Ears in China, and Egg School in South Korea. As part of a volunteer experience, I taught English in a school in Tanzania.
I look forward to bringing a variety of topics I'm passionate about to life! I use tools such as presentations, videos, games, discussions, etc., to engage the students and promote long-term memory retention. I aim to provide a bright, fun, and encouraging atmosphere in the classroom!
I am married, and a mom to two wonderful little boys. We live in Canada with our 3 pets! We have 1 dog and 2 cats - one of them being a hairless cat (Sphynx). I hope to include her in a class someday! We love camping and traveling!
