Class Experience

This block of four, once a week, tutoring sessions is designed by the parent and Ms. Amy according to a student's interests and/or needs in the  Reading Language Arts field.  The following examples would be considered acceptable requests for the session:

1. Help understanding sentence structure or writing.
2. Help reading an assigned book.
3. Help writing a teacher or parent-created writing assignment such as an essay, paragraph, or book report.
4. Help completing teacher or parent-created grammar homework.
5. Help finding subjects and verbs in a sentence.
6. Help understanding and identifying a part of speech, like a noun.

Cost is higher for one-on-one tutoring, but is student-specific and effective especially for those students who struggle in group sessions.  Parents are encouraged to request a time slot if the scheduled slot does not fit into their schedule.

Learning Goals

The student will receive academic practice and support in the Reading Language Arts.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello! 
I love teaching grammar and composition skills to students of all ages. When I'm not helping students write more effectively, I'm hosting book groups and book-related programs. I've worked as an elementary, middle school, and high school English teacher in several private schools.  I've also worked as a children's specialist at my county library.

Society and social media don't allow much time for reflection before we write or speak, so the need to know and understand correct grammar and mechanics is vital for young students.  Helping young children and young adults become effective communicators is my passion.  

I also use book readings to help and inspire students.  Reading and studying great books with my students gives them varied examples of correct writing.  I have also found that reading together and discussing themes and characters builds their discernment and listening skills. 

When I'm not teaching, you can find me quilting, playing my piano, or sitting on the back deck with my dachshund Maggie and, of course, a great book!
