Tutoría de lectura, lecciones privadas para uno o dos estudiantes 3 veces por semana

Hello, Outschool families. I'm Miss Robin, The Bird Lady. All of my classes, for ages 3 through 12, focus on promoting literacy, creativity, and social skills. As an an avid reader, I'm passionate about instilling a lifelong love of reading. As a children's book writer, I love exploring stories and creating with kids.

I believe that learning is driven by curiosity and wonder. As a teacher, I take a wholistic approach, using the materials present to introduce and reinforce literacy, science, mathematics and social science. My classes are set up to encourage participation through listening and sharing. And, of course, they all include something birdy-ful.

I have a B.A. in English and Sociology, with an emphasis on early childhood development, from St. Olaf College. Over the years, I've written five middle-grade novels while also working as a nanny, a pre-school teacher, an after-school daycare provider, or an elementary school reading tutor. I am currently the nursery coordinator for a local non-profit, an Outschool mom of four, and a bird caretaker. My house holds a pandemonium of parrots. My backyard is home to a flock of chickens. I also spend time at a local parrot sanctuary, and bird-sit for neighbors and friends. 

When I'm not spending time with a good book, I'm enjoying a board game with friends, whistling along with birds, making a mess in my kitchen, coaxing new growth in my garden plots, singing loudly in my shower, or catching up on the latest Disney/Pixar/Marvel stories with my kids. 

Thank you for spending some time with me today. I look forward to meeting your wonder-filled learners!
