In this ongoing course, students will have the opportunity to work on homework and other writing things that they'd like to - while receiving time with the teacher. The teacher can provide extra support and help during this class, as well as support from other students. The class will be structured as such: First 5 minutes, catch up on things needing to be worked on. 15 minutes, writing prompt, going over areas needing assistance in, reviewing material from in-class 10 minutes, free writing or additional work to help with concepts My teaching style is very student-directed. I believe students learn best when they develop a discovering mind making them a life-long learner. I will always be there to encourage and scaffold. Students will have full access to my help during class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Hello there! My name is Meri Sue Michalak, or Ms. M, and I teach classes with the intention of developing life-long, confident and independent learners. Whether that be through my fun social clubs, writing courses or private tutoring, the goal is to give students the tools they need to succeed in being their absolute BEST self. I believe that at the root of teaching is not just about presenting curriculum or hitting learning goals; it's developing a child as a whole. You will find that I am extremely personable and engaging with all of my students. I believe that every child deserves an equitable learning experience so I always take care in developing courses that serve all learning styles. I have 10+ years of experience in the childcare and education field. From Preschool Music Teacher, After-School Care Site Director to Private Elementary Tutor, I have a well-rounded professional background. I also have a Bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, EC-8 and I hold a Teaching Certificate for EC-8th grade. One of my favorite things about working in this field are the relationships I've built with families and kiddos. Many of my students are ones I've known for years and watched grow into themselves.
You can find me in Austin, Texas (keepin' it weird!) with my husband MJ, preschooler Maxine, and two doggies Luke and Willie. I love cooking, baking (and tending to my sourdough!), writing, reading, watching a good TV series and spending time with friends & family.
I hope to meet you soon! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I love to chat with families about their specific needs so I can accommodate to the best of my ability.
