These private tutoring sessions will be individualized lessons designed to overcome learning struggles and intensify learning skills. 
I will work together with you, the parent, to create personalized and meaningful learning opportunities for each class.  Since I am a special education teacher, I understand how to pinpoint student needs and fill in learning gaps for steady progress toward academic success.
All areas of Language Arts will be covered on an as needed basis: reading fluency and comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, and writing in a variety of forms.  
During writing instruction, beginning-level learners will create solid sentences while intermediate students will compose a good paragraph that includes excellent word choice, transitions, grammar and punctuation.  More experienced learners will compose longer essays with an emphasis on understanding thesis and these three parts: introduction, body and conclusion.
Spelling instruction, when applicable, will consist of learning spelling "rules" and not rote memorization.  Since English is a conglomeration of several languages, knowing how and when to use certain spelling combinations is key toward spelling proficiency.
I am always available to help assist with homework, too!
