Before taking this class, I recommend taking my One Time Class (Private 1:1 Tutoring: Initial Assessment and Meet & Greet) as this class is created so that I can assess your learner and get to know you and your child. During our tutoring sessions, learners will be exposed to a variety of fiction and non-fiction texts and will explore the elements of fiction and non-fiction. While reading these texts, we will engage in discussions that will promote comprehension skills, inferencing, and analyzing, and foster critical thinking skills. These discussions will also enhance speaking and listening skills. I will be working closely with learners so that they are able to organize their thoughts and write cohesive reading responses. Learners will be guided through the entire process and have fun playing games and completing activities that will further reinforce class topics. We will be using the RACE (Restate, Answer, Cite, Explain) method in order to respond to the literature. Below are topics that learners will be able to write about: - Learners will understand what genre is and what different types of genres exist. They will also understand what elements are needed to create specific genres. - Learners will be able to analyze characters based on character thoughts, actions, and feelings. - Learners will be able to analyze five plot elements in a story. - Learners will be able to analyze the setting of a story and how this affects other story elements. - Learners will be able to identify the author's point of view. - Learners will be able to identify the author's purpose. - Learners will be able to identify cause and effect relationships. - Learners will be able to compare and contrast two texts. - Learners will be able to differentiate facts vs. opinions. - Learners will be able to identify the main idea and supporting details. - Learners will be able to draw conclusions and make inferences by evaluating a text's resources and evidence. - Learners will be able to identify who a narrator is in the story and what their point of view is. - Learners will be able to identify and analyze problems and solutions in a text. **SCHEDULING: In order to best accommodate your schedule, please message me so that we can work out days and times that work!

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello Everyone!
I'm excited to introduce myself as an experienced educator with a strong focus on Early Childhood and Childhood Education. With nine years of teaching expertise, I hold a Bachelor of Art degree with a concentration in Psychology, as well as a Master's of Science in Childhood Education. Additionally, I pursued a Master's Extension in Early Childhood Education and Dual Language Education. My qualifications include New York State Teaching Certificates in Childhood Education, Early Childhood Education, and Dual Language Education.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching in various settings, including traditional classrooms, 1-1 tutoring, and online instruction. I take great joy in helping students achieve academic success across all subjects. My areas of expertise lie in teaching reading and providing reading intervention services. I am equally passionate about writing and enjoy sharing my love for it with my students.
On Outschool, my classes revolve around Literacy and Early Childhood Education. One of my most sought-after classes is 1-1 tutoring for beginning and struggling readers. Additionally, I offer private tutoring sessions for students who require assistance with reading comprehension, discussing literary elements, writing skills, and spelling. I recently introduced a class designed to prepare Pre-Kindergarten students for Kindergarten, which can be taken either in a group or private setting.
I firmly believe that every child possesses an innate curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. By providing differentiated and engaging classes that cater to the emotional, cognitive, and social needs of my students, I consistently achieve positive results. Witnessing my students' accomplishments and observing their progress is incredibly fulfilling for both them and me.
During my free time, I indulge in activities such as writing, drawing, and singing. I find solace in nature, particularly while watching breathtaking sunsets, and I cherish moments spent playing with my dog, Charlie.
I am eagerly looking forward to meeting you and your little learner. Together, we will embark on an exciting educational journey!Reviews
