Each of my private one-to-one classes is heavily tailored to the student’s individual needs and learning style. I also assess each student’s personal beliefs about reading and writing, as well as their goals, and adjust my approach accordingly. Many students are much better at writing and reading comprehension than they realize, but they have developed negative narratives about themselves and their abilities. As a dually-certified ELA and special education teacher, I have seen time and time again how improving students' confidence improves their academic skills tenfold. Therefore, I not only focus on skills development but also on the emotional aspect academic growth. In every class, I maintain a positive and inclusive learning environment in which students feel safe and encouraged. Through collaboration, discussion, modeling, and skills practice, students will learn to take their writing and reading to the next level. Note that students will be expected to collaborate in this process, as I will not simply give comments or rewrite students' work. Upon signing up for this class, I work closely with the student and caregiver to design a curriculum that suits their needs. I offer tutoring in essay-writing, reading comprehension, test prep, grammar and spelling, and creative wiring. The skills that I focus on will depend on the students' individual needs. I am TESOL certified and experienced in teaching writing to ESL students, including those preparing for the Cambridge B and C level exams. If this is the case with your learner, I adjust my techniques and lessons to this particular need. 📣 PLEASE NOTE: In order for your learner to get the most out of private sessions, please communicate with me before the first class so that I can prepare a lesson that targets your learner's needs! If I don't hear from you, I may not be able to tailor the lesson to your learner's specific needs in our first meeting together. 📣Also note: if you don't see a time available that fits your schedule, please message me and I can see if I'm able to open a time slot for you! 🌟 Class structure 🌟 ✅ During the first class, we will focus on the first piece of student work that the student brings to class. We will also discuss the student's strengths, needs, and goals for writing. ✅ After the first class, I will design individualized exercises that help students practice and strengthen essay writing and revising skills that match their particular needs. These exercises will be completed in the first 15 - 20 minutes of class. Sample Mini-lesson Topics: Essays & Academic Writing ✏️ Outlining a multi-paragraph essay effectively so that it flows easily and also builds the argument ✏️ Writing a thesis that is coherent, comprehensive, and sets the essay up for successful argumentation ✏️ Choosing effective text evidence from various sources ✏️ Integrating text evidence into writing so that it effectively supports the argument made in the paragraph ✏️ Citing evidence to avoid plagiarism ✏️ Writing and revising effective sentences, focusing on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and vocabulary usage ✏️ Using teacher rubrics to self-assess and revise essays before submission ✏️ Recognizing the moving parts of an essay and how they can be rearranged to increase effectiveness of the overall argumentation ✏️ Using meta-cognitive reflection when revising to understand why we are making changes and how to apply them to new writing going forward ✏️ Developing a critical eye for revision without losing confidence in one's writing ability ✏️ Developing a positive self-narrative for those students who think they are 'bad at writing' Sample Mini-lesson Topics: Creative Writing ✏️ Outlining stories and approaches to creative writing ✏️ Effective beginnings ✏️ Developing compelling characters ✏️ Elements of an effective story or poem ✏️ Writing conflict and climaxes ✏️ Effective endings ✏️ Key elements of different genres ✏️ Rhetorical devices ✏️ Descriptive language ✏️ Finding your unique voice ✏️ The importance of revision in creative writing ✏️ Writing and revising effective sentences, focusing on grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, and vocabulary usage ✏️ Developing a critical eye for revision without losing confidence in one's writing ability 🌟 Interaction 🌟 Since this class is one to one, there is ample direct interaction with the teacher. 🌟 Prior Knowledge 🌟 No specific prior writing knowledge is required. However, students are expected to bring a piece of writing they would like to improve, or an assignment they would like to start. This can be from any subject in school and is not limited to essays in English class. It can also be a creative piece that students are working on. 🌟 About the Teacher 🌟 Meg Connolly is a certified teacher with bachelors degrees in literature and philosophy.

My teaching "manifesto":
Teaching humanities is my greatest passion! I work to instill in my students a love of reading, writing, and deep thinking that goes beyond the classroom. I believe that all students can achieve academic success and become life-long learners, regardless of their backgrounds or their learning needs. I am passionate about inclusive classrooms that bring a wide range of students together, where we can all learn from each other and enrich each other's lives.
As a teacher, I focus on core reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that prepare students for college-level studies. However, I also believe that we all learn best when learning is social and enjoyable. To that end, I take creative and discussion-based approaches to teaching and I infuse classes with students' interests wherever possible.
Lastly, some other tidbits about me:
💫I'm fluent in Spanish and I'm now working on my Portuguese.
💫I play violin, piano, and guitar, and I love to sing and song-write for fun.
