⭐️ I typically work with parents to schedule days and times that work best for both of our schedules. Please message me to coordinate new class times! ⭐️

As a middle and high school English teacher, I love being able to work with students one-on-one to identify areas of improvement and practice those skills that will help students be more confident and proficient readers and writers. Each class will be personalized for the student. For example, if a student needs help writing an essay, I can guide that student by helping with any of the following areas: breaking down the writing prompt, brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and editing. On the other hand, if a student needs help with reading comprehension, we can review a reading passage and practice reading techniques that will help improve understanding and knowledge. I am also experienced with helping students to refine vocabulary and grammar skills. 

I just ask that after you sign up your child for my class, please send me a message with the completed Needs Assessment (sent to you via email after enrollment). That way, you can let me know what your child needs help with so that I can prepare appropriately. I also ask that students come prepared for class with materials such as an essay prompt, rough draft, challenging reading passage, vocabulary word list, a graded grammar test, etc. I can certainly supplement additional materials to help students if relevant.

Here is a sample Class Breakdown for our first class together (keep in mind each class will be personalized):
0-5 minutes: Introductions; review the Needs Assessment
5-15 minutes: Goal Setting -- establish two main goals
15-25 minutes: Practice Goal 1
25-35 minutes: Practice Goal 2
35-40 minutes: Summarize class, Complete Progress Report
