HOLIDAY SCHEDULING UPDATE! Currently, I have no classes schedule for the week before or after Christmas. This pushes some lessons into January. I have no problem scheduling for the week before Christmas if your learner is available! I know everyone takes a different amount of time off around the holidays. If you would like to reschedule the last class for BEFORE Christmas, please reach out BEFORE booking and we can reschedule! Thank you! *Our first class will be an assessment session, which will allow me to have a deeper understanding of your child's learning needs and areas with room for growth. **I can create a private listing with a custom number of classes, times per week, and class duration based on your needs. Please reach out so we can set it up! In this multi-day class, I will provide personalized instruction and support for your child in the areas of reading, writing, or math. I am a licensed teacher with many years of experience and degrees in both elementary and special education. I am also trained in Orton-Gillingham, a systematic reading approach that is successful with many children! I love working with children one on one and will be sure to tailor the experience to your child's needs. Prior to class, we will touch base on what area you would like me to focus on with your child. I am also available to assist with homework assignments and projects (which I know can be challenging during these times of distance learning!) assigned at school. Reading Examples: Fluency, decoding, comprehension Writing Examples: Brainstorming, sentence structure, editing Math Examples: Addition, problem-solving, measurement My class structure, teaching style, and materials will vary based on your learner's specific needs. I may model my own reading or writing, create open-ended problems for children, or reteach a concept entirely if I feel it's appropriate.
Learning Goals
Students outcomes will be tailored to each student's reading, writing, or math needs as determined by our in-class assessment.
Other Details
Supply List
Parents must let me know prior to class what area they would like me to focus on with their child. Additional materials may be requested based on the student's learning needs. I will let you know as soon as possible what those materials may be. A notebook, pencil, and crayons are always good to have on hand!
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! Welcome to my classroom!
My name is Miss Jillian and I'm an educator with over half a decade of experience in elementary education. I have taught children of all ages but nothing makes me happier or more certain of my calling as an educator than teaching young learners. I've primarily spent time in classrooms Pre-K 3 through 1st but have tutored and taught students of all grades, K-12! I am certified in the state of Virginia to teach Elementary and Special Education.
I believe students learn best in small groups tailored to their specific needs. I think children are naturally curious and should be encouraged to explore their interests both in and outside the classroom. Good thing Outschool has a class for everyone!
I primarily focus on primary school classes, especially reading and writing. I love to foster a love of reading in my students! Nothing makes me happier than having a good book talk with a student! I also like to teach classes that allow students to steer the ship, like show and tell or reader's circle. I love when students share what they're passionate about with others!
My hobbies include baking and cooking, reading, writing, playing board games, and going for a walk with my dog. I collect fake cacti (knit, eraser, candles...I even have a lamp!) and Little Golden Books. I love all things Disney (especially Disney World...hoping to get to Disneyland soon!) and Harry Potter! I hope to share some of my passions with students through Outschool classes as well!
I can't wait to see you (or your child!) in my classroom soon! Please reach out with any questions, I am here to support my students in any way possible. Thanks for stopping by!
