Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 4
In this class we will first discuss  the five senses - sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. We will talk about how these senses help us explore the world.  I will then introduce each sense individually and we will talk about action verbs that can be used while writing about that sense. We will practice creating exciting sentences that provide specific details  based on a particular sense.  The student will compare "boring" sentences with "exciting" sentences.  We will learn to make sentences more specific by referring to our five sentences.  All of my classes are fun and casual.   This is a private class, so your child will have my undivided attention.  This is a stand alone class and no previous knowledge is required.  Please note, this is a discussion based class, students will not be writing, but will engage in active conversation.  If you are interested in personalized writing instruction, please see my private writing classes.

Learning Goals

At the end of this class students will write more exciting, detail specific sentences by incorporating references to our five senses.  This skill will boost self confidence when drafting short stories or informative paragraphs.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in English from Bentley University
Bachelor's Degree in English from Smith College

I have worked with children ages 3-18 for over 25 years. My experience includes a broad range of skills from pre-reading through university preparation. My specialty is English language learning. I have taught  preschool as a lead teacher, and also substituted  regularly in elementary and middle school classrooms. Additional experience includes private tutoring for Spanish, reading skills and college essay writing.  I also enjoy teaching English as a second language to  adults and children.  I have worked both in person, and on line, and I am familiar with skills necessary to make both venues successful. I have an undergraduate degree in Engish/Spanish and a graduate degree in communications. I take my teaching seriously, but I try to present the material in a fun way to encourage learners to participate and enjoy learning.
