In this fun and engaging tutoring session for ages 5-9, we’ll dive into exciting reading adventures with: Consonants and vowels Consonant blends Rhyming and phonics practice Reading comprehension Vocabulary and grammar basics like punctuation and sentences Each week, we’ll practice phonics and blend sounds together, explore fun stories, and build our vocabulary. I like to use interactive slideshows where students can draw on the screen, and I also bring letter props and objects to help make reading extra fun. We’ll trace words in workbook packets, learn rhymes, and even keep everyone moving with song and movement fun! My teaching style is very interactive. I like to help children truly learn with their whole bodies and I teach to all learning styles (kinesthetic, auditory, visual, linguistic, social, solitary, and logical). I use techniques such as call and response, singing, chants, flashcards, picture visuals, and video presentations. I give children a chance to enter lessons at their own pace and if they are shy at first I allow them time to warm up and they feel comfortable. Bring a pencil, crayons, and paper to class, and get ready to have fun learning!
Learning Goals
The goal of this class is to help young readers ages 5-9 develop a strong foundation in reading by mastering key skills such as phonics, consonant blends, rhyming, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I’m Demetria- a singer/songwriter and independent artist who enjoys spreading positive messages of overcoming hardships and finding joy.
I was trained classically in piano beginning at age 9, but quickly began to pick up on a new style and learned to play gospel music, jazz and blues chords by ear. Because I found freedom in expression through improvisation, I became completely passionate about learning the piano at an early age. Singing and playing the piano has been a part of my life for the past three decades and continues to be a source of joy for me.
I have now been a singer and songwriter for over thirty years and have been involved in many showcases- singing and playing piano for local events, weddings, and church services. I have also taught basic music theory in homeschool groups and in private lessons. While in college, I was a member of the African American Gospel Choir (affectionately known as the “Afros” at the University of Alabama). Additionally, I continue to further my education through the Music Teachers National Association and learning about the Orff and Kodaly methods.
I believe that we are all capable of expressing artistry through music and that it takes no special skill or talent to be able to appreciate and enjoy our inherent connection to music. However, it is my goal to help your student learn to grow in musicality and vocal skill. I also offer piano classes here on Outschool.
I look forward to meeting and working with your students!
