Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten
This is an ongoing class (private 1:1 tutoring session) where your child will work with an experienced certified teacher for extra help in reading. Since these are tutoring sessions, I am offering a couple of options for this class. 

Option 1 ~ 
When you enroll your student, you may let me know where they are struggling (ex. reading comprehension or letter sounds) and I will spend our time together working on these specific strategies.  You can enroll your child for 1 session per week (or two) until they have mastered the content. 

Option 2 ~ 
I taught Kindergarten in public schools for 12 years. I've also been tutoring students in Kindergarten through 2nd grade. I've worked for 2 years in a homeschool co-op where I taught a full Kindergarten and 1st grade curriculum. If you find that you are struggling to teach certain reading skills to your child, I would love to help! 
Please refer to the list below. If there an area outside of this list where you need help, please feel free to contact me!

Here are some of the areas where students typically struggle in Reading (K-2):
* print concepts
* letter and sound recognition
* sight words
* reading fluency (we will read short stories together)
* story elements (characters, setting, problem, solution, main idea & key details)
* comprehension (this can include writing in response to reading which I can help with as well)
* phonemic awareness (I will follow a phonics scope and sequence)
* vocabulary

I have 15+ years of teaching experience and I tutor privately in my community. I'd love to help your child succeed in reading!

Hello! 
My name is Melissa Goebel and I am so excited to teach at Outschool! have a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I am a certified teacher who has a passion for teaching Pre-K - 1st grade. I taught Kindergarten for 12 years in public school and for the past 3 years, I've taught virtually as well as in person at a homeschool co-op. I love teaching virtually and I have fun and creative ways to make learning fun and engaging online.
I live in Tampa Florida with my amazing husband and we are proud parents of a 13 year old boy named Jaden and a 10 year old boy named Justin who are both in middle school. We enjoy spending time in the water, at the beaches and in the natural springs found throughout our sunny state of Florida.
I am truly looking forward to continuing my love for all things Pre-K through 1st grade online and I can’t wait to meet your child! 
Sincerely,
Ms. Melissa
