Hello! My name is Elaina Kane and I am from the United States. I have experience teaching online and in a public school as well as private violin lessons and small group theatre classes. I love to teach and I love to learn new things!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in theatre, and I have always been interested in music and teaching as well! I was an English as a Second Language paraprofessional for 3 years at a public elementary school and started teaching online in 2019.

When I was a paraprofessional, I worked with small groups of students in kindergarten - 4th grade. We learned about reading, writing, grammar, and poetry. We also sometimes turned stories into short plays that we performed! During this time, I also tutored many students one-on-one in math, reading, and writing, and helped (and later lead) the 6th grade drama class. My goal is always to help students enjoy what they are studying, even if at first it doesn't seem like a "fun" topic! I believe there is always a way to make learning engaging and enjoyable for students!

I have been teaching online since June 2019. I have taught lessons in ESL, reading, Language Arts, and theatre, and have worked with both children and adults. I love connecting with different students from around the world!

I so enjoy teaching English, but also love teaching theatre, both in person and online. I have directed or assistant directed student plays at a public school, private school, and for homeschoolers. One project was directing a children's version of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for a group of homeschoolers. We had five actors and lots of props and costumes - and we performed on Zoom for an audience of family and friends watching from home! :)

Besides teaching, I love singing, reading, playing ukulele and violin, and being outside. My husband and I enjoy rock climbing, board games, taking trips, and reading together.

I am so thankful for all of my teaching experiences, whether they are online or in person, or whether I am teaching theatre or language arts. I strive to making learning fun and engaging for students so they can enjoy what they are learning and put it into practice!
