Do you struggle to get your learner to listen to your suggestions about studying and time management? Is it getting in the way of your relationship and family dynamic? As the mom of two grown children, I have been in your shoes! As a 20-year teaching veteran and private tutor, I have seen firsthand how parents want to help, but it's a struggle. In this intermediate-level class, we investigate various study skills such as organizational skills, note-taking, time management tips, student advocacy, and the importance of reading and breaking down directions for assignments. This is an overview class that crams a lot into one session. For an introductory option, check out this class recommended for ages 11-13: https://outschool.com/classes/study-skills-note-taking-organization-and-time-management-BhyMjQip?usid=XGkreG5p&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link My role as the teacher will be to provide support and skills so your learner will find academic success! This class will meet for 50 minutes live, one time. The class will be interactive with sharing and questioning encouraged, but not required. I teach in a fun, light-hearted way that helps develop trust and makes learning fun. **Check out the ongoing weekly version of this class. It is 30 minutes, once per week. https://outschool.com/classes/study-skills-weekly-ongoing-strategies-for-success-soBdkzPj?usid=XGkreG5p&signup=true&utm_campaign=share_activity_link **I also offer private tutoring for elementary through high school students in many subjects.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Laura Smith and I am passionate about learning! I have over 20 years as a classroom teacher and have been tutoring middle and high school students for over 4 years. I offer a variety of classes to help with study skills, homework, social skills, and even a class on bike safety!
Professional Background:
I have over 20 years of teaching and tutoring experience ranging from elementary to high school. I earned my BSEd degree at the University of Missouri, Columbia. I taught with Columbia Public Schools and Liberty Public Schools since 1992. I currently am tutoring in my home in the evenings and during the day on Outschool.
I will provide a safe learning space where your student will be exposed to skills that will help them become a lifelong learner. I believe that all children learn at different speeds when their brain is ready and receptive to new information. Learning HOW to learn is fundamental to success. It is my goal that students leave a session with me feeling successful and confident!
Most of my classes are related to study skills and how to be the best student you can be. I also have a bike safety class and an ongoing choose your own book club!
Fun fact: My husband and I lived in England for a year in 2004. We enrolled our children in school there where I gained first-hand experience about schooling in another culture. We were able to travel throughout most of Europe while there which provided our family with valuable memories. I currently lead international group tours and travel around the United States in our campervan, Toaster.
I am always happy to answer your questions!
Hope to see you in the classroom!Reviews
