このクラスで学べること

英語レベル - B2+
米国の学年 7 - 8
This class is best suited for 7th and 8th-grade students.

Small-Group Instruction
This allows me to work closely with each student to evaluate students' learning strengths, locate gaps in their reading development, and tailor lessons focused on specific learning objectives.

Ongoing Format
This is an ELA supplemental course in an Ongoing format. This provides an easier payment option through weekly installments. Plus, this format eliminates the fear of a long-term commitment for parents and students. You may drop in and out as needed. However, be aware that seats cannot be held and are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The Bet by Anton Chekhov ~ The conversation in the opening scene is a dinner party where the guests debate capital punishment and life in prison. This topic is what leads to the bet taking place. A character voluntarily agrees to 15 years of solitary confinement for 2 million dollars. The remainder of the story focuses on how the character evolves and gains knowledge through the books he reads while in confinement.

テキサス州 教員免許 英語/国語で

My English courses are centered around thought-provoking critical reading skills, effective writing, and verbalizing one's interpretation of a literary text. I believe in living, laughing, and learning. My learning goals are for my students to gain a greater depth of understanding far beyond the text.

My professional background:
~ I have taught English Language Arts (ELA) in the middle school setting for 16 years (Texas public schools).

~ I understand the Common Core Standards for my content area.

~ I have been an ELA Curriculum Writer in my district for over ten years.

~ I am ELA certified in the State of Texas for grades 4th through 8th.

~ I am certified as a generalist in Early Childhood - 4th Grade.

~ I am certified in ESL for grades Early Childhood - 12th Grade.

~ I am certified in Special Education for grades Early Childhood - 12th Grade.

~ In addition to education, I am an online writer for various websites. I have a background in Corporate Management, International Sales, Grant Writing, and I have worked as a Project Director for a non-profit organization.

~ I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Dance with a minor in English from Texas Woman's University.

My philosophy of teaching:
I believe strongly in developing independent thought, voice, and empathy. I enjoy enlightening students in the skills necessary for analyzing multiple viewpoints, building evidence-based opinions, and creating awareness toward opposing arguments. Civility and kindness are essential to me, and I encourage my students to be respectful as they develop their own opinions and counterarguments. Importantly, promoting metacognition in my students is a common approach in my teaching style. Yes, I LOVE teaching!

My family:
My daughter, Briana Olivares, is a teacher here at Outschool. She has had the gift of music since her earliest years, and she enjoys sharing this beautiful art form with her students. My son keeps us entertained and laughing. He is heartwarming, sweet, and has autism; he has taught me so much as a teacher and mother. My rock and supportive husband has been in Corporate Restaurant Management for over 32 years. Yum!

Requests for courses are welcomed!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Communication:

Outschool is my primary occupation, and I prioritize live classes during teaching days (Monday through Saturday). While I may not respond promptly during these days, I aim to reply within 24 hours (usually sooner).

Offline Hours:

I am offline on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, although I do periodically check messages and aim to respond promptly.

Materials:

In alignment with my teaching approach, all of the related materials and optional homework lessons will be provided in a PDF at the END of each respective lesson (NOT before). My lessons are interactive, guided experiences where all necessary materials are presented and annotated during class. Additionally, all classes are recorded for students' reference.

Assignments & Feedback:

Students are responsible for completing any unfinished assignments from class. I encourage all students to send their responses for feedback through private message.
