Welcome to my standard 1:1 language arts tutoring class. This is my vanilla class for 1:1 tutoring and is set up for general tutoring needs.

This 1:1 tutoring class serves two purposes. The first is to serve guardians and students who would like weekly scheduled classes. Usually, I provide the curriculum based on shared objectives and goals. Provided homework is optional. The second purpose is to assist with reading, writing, social studies, or science school homework projects, personal projects, or test preparation.  

Past students in my classroom and those I have taught online enjoy my lessons because I build connections and make learning enjoyable, humorous, and engaging. When I am with young learners in an educational setting, the child in my heart comes out. It helps that I have many of the same interests as my students and can discuss anything from my old Atari games to the new hit smartphone apps and much in between.

I specialized in the upper elementary language arts for 10 of my 24 years in the classroom and have a master's in Educational Technology. 

I can assist with any literacy component, including theme, main idea, vocabulary, locating evidence, character development, and predicting. I also specialize in building the reading/writing connection, research skills, and creative writing techniques.
