This class will explore a story (chosen by me) and each student will get an opportunity to read aloud. When the story will be done, students will engage in a discussion pertaining to what they read. Comprehension questions will be presented along with additional questions where students will be required to make a connection to the story, to identify the conflict in the story, to describe the characters, and to make predictions.

I have fourteen+ years of experience teaching Language to students of all ages. I have graduated with a 4.0 and hold a Master of Education degree, HBASc (Criminology) degree, Social Service Worker diploma, and Law Clerk diploma. Throughout my career as an English tutor, I have helped students with their English courses. I am fluent in the English language and I am very familiar of the requirements that students must achieve in order to be successful in their writing courses. For example, I have helped students structure essays from beginning to end and taught how to properly structure sentences, how to integrate valuable supporting details, how to properly source, include in-text citations, analyze academic journals, and how to paraphrase information that is relevant to the topic at hand. Reading is a skill that requires attention to detail and it requires students to pay close attention to words. As an English tutor, I teach students how to read slowly and how to define terms in the content presented. I encourage students to engage in discussions based on the story read and I also aid students who have difficulties in making connections. Reading allows students to imagine the text in their own way and each student will have a different image in their head pertaining to the way the characters look, the way the setting appears, and the way the author presents information. Throughout my career, I have worked with students as young as six years old to students who are in their fourth year of university. I am an educator who pays close attention to detail and I teach students how to elaborate their thoughts. Many times, students can get very discouraged because they can only come up with one or two thoughts about a certain topic. I do not let that discourage my students; instead, I help them expand their ideas by posing additional questions which allows them to delve deeper into their topic. My education is a combination of various academic disciplines which allows me to provide students with plenty examples and samples of how to properly write. I strongly believe that my expertise will inspire and help students develop their potentials in becoming amazing writers.
