This class is meant to serve as a convenient one-on-one tutoring session for elementary-aged students. I will assist with homework, studying, and explaining topics of confusion. I can also offer 1-on-1 reading practice and ESL tutoring as well. The content of each class will be based on what the parent and student request. 

Examples include, but are not limited to:
-Practice reading a book
-Writing a book report
-A math homework assignment that is challenging for them
-Spelling practice/quizzes
-Studying for a test 
-Practicing conversation skills (ESL)
-Increasing vocabulary (Both native speakers and ESL learners)
-Completing a research assignment
-Taking notes from another source
-Writing/Editing an essay/paragraph/short answer

The format of this class will be as if your learner and I were working together in person. The 1:1 class size makes it possible to give each student my undivided attention and really focus on their needs and their learning style. I have a virtual whiteboard if needed, as well as the ability to create songs, games, practice sheets, etc...

Parents should know, I will not do the work for your learner. My role as the tutor is to help your child understand how to get the correct answer. In doing this, I like to have fun with my students while I teach because I feel that when they WANT to learn, they pick up material much more easily. 

I feel that children should be encouraged to follow their passions. Children need to know that they can have what they want for their lives if they have the correct tools and motivation to get there. I hope to help build confidence in my students and to give them some of those tools. I also believe that not every child learns the same way. Education is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I look forward to helping your child learn how they learn.

While I offer an extensive collection of class content choices, my specialty is meeting students where they’re at and making the course material accessible to all students, regardless of the topic. I love to be silly with my students and encourage interaction in all of my classes. I want learners to feel at ease and safe to be themselves in my classroom. My small class sizes and relaxed, encouraging teaching style allow me to tailor my classes to each student’s needs and learning style, resulting in learners walking away from class confident and smiling.
