In this weekly, ongoing 1:1 course, 3rd-12th grade students will receive individualized writing instruction and/or homework help. Parents will need to coordinate with the teacher to determine what areas to focus on. By meeting the child where they are and learning about their interests, writing can be made more engaging and fun. My teaching style is gentle and playful. I can help your student with writing essays that they are assigned in school, or I can assign and work with them on an essay based on their interests. I will walk them through each part of the writing process. I am familiar with teaching persuasive, descriptive, narrative, and expository essays. I also have experience teaching poetry and creative writing. Learners outside of the age range are welcome as long as they are in elementary language arts. My schedule is limited, but please feel free to request a time that works for you.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Christine, but in 2021, many of my learners started calling me by the nickname Ms. Wish after my gamer handle. I love it and it stuck!
I am a former private school classroom teacher and current homeschooling mom. I have taught students from infants to senior citizens in various subjects, though I have a special affinity for video gaming, music, math, theater, and language.
On Outschool, I teach mostly social gaming clubs as I have found a need for learners to socialize while playing their favorite online games in a safe and supervised environment. In these classes, students build important social skills needed to have fun and stay safe in an online gaming environment. I am a strong believer that much learning happens through play! Like Maria Montessori said "play is the work of the child." These days much play happens in the virtual world, and as a lifelong gamer I choose to embrace it!
I have had a passion for teaching since I was in 3rd Grade and was selected for a program that allowed a few students to tutor 1st-grade students in reading and math. Since then, I have worked as a teacher/tutor my entire adult life. I have a Bachelor's in Liberal Studies with a concentration in music and have received training in the Kodaly Method of teaching music to young learners. My instrument of choice is my voice.
I have a gentle and playful teaching style built on mutual respect. My favorite quote is from Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, "Careful the things you say. Children will listen. Careful the things you do. Children will see and learn."
When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking and rediscovering the wonders of nature with my son.
I am looking forward to seeing your learner in class!Reviews
