During our first session, learners can look forward to me getting to know them better. This entails me:
📝 Getting to know them in an academic sense (their learning style, what they’re struggling with, how they feel about learning, reading, writing, etc.)
🧒 Getting to know things like their hobbies, likes, dislikes, favorite things, etc.

Building a bond with learners is one of my most important jobs as a teacher 😊

Next, the learner and I will work on the ELA skill(s) that they need to practice. To end class, the learner and I will talk about our “game plan” for their next tutoring sessions and what they can look forward to.

During each session after the initial meeting, learners can look forward to a game and activity based class time. I believe the best way to practice academic skills is through play! 😁

Here is a breakdown on how a learner and I could practice their ELA skills:

📚Reading Comprehension - Two Truths & a False, Predict the Rest of the Story, Scramble Scramble: Sequencing the Story

✍️Writing - Silly Writing Prompts, MadLibs, Finish the Story

📑Grammar - Vocabulary Pictionary (nouns, adjectives, and verbs), I Spy (correct the grammar of each sentence), Who am I? (what grammar rule am I)

🔠Spelling - Unscramble the Word, Decode the Compound Word, Bingo

This class will ultimately help students to feel more confident in themselves as they practice different skills in many different ways on a weekly basis! The best kind of practice is more practice 🤓

📌Prior to my first session with new learners I will send a message to parents asking if they have any specific requests for what the learner and I should work on. This will determine what I will structure the class around.📌

If you don’t see a time/day that works for you and your learner please don’t hesitate to reach out so that I may accommodate you 😁
