When I was coaching, my players grades were very important. I offered and encouraged our players to attend 'study tables'. I once heard a coach say that he didn't call it study hall because that implies that someone sits at a desk while a student sits at a desk and works by themselves. Study tables mean we are all sitting at the same table working on exactly what the player needed.

I want this class to be similar. We can help with homework, review concepts you have been working on, or get you ready for the next things you have coming up.



***CLASS STRUCTURE***
1) Team Meeting- We use slides to guide each class in a smooth and organized way. Each class starts with the Team Meeting and Life Lesson of the Day. You can read more about those on my teaching profile.

2) Introductory meeting (first class only) - After that we will have an introductory meeting. I have a conversation with each student to go over their goals and interests and get to know each other. Any information you could give me beforehand about what you guys need to work on helps a bunch. 

3) Goal review- We should come out of that meeting with 3 goals set. Our first goal may be a homework check if that is something you guys are wanting help with. In our first class that is probably some kind of age-appropriate and assessment so I can get a feel for what they are working on. That way we can narrow down our goals and be able to make future goals. The main thing here is that we do a goal review every class so that the student can keep me in the loop and we can have a goal mindset. Along with  main outside of class prep though is setting goals each for each class, keeping parents in the loop with messages, and creating new content for the student to work on so I very carefully consider each students goals and overall learning plan.


4) Lesson Part of Class- This takes up the bulk of class and looks different for each student. 

The lessons are always growing and the path we put a student on really depends on their specific learning goals, the subject (or subjects) they want help on and their understanding of that subject. Sometimes the biggest thing is that students have missed earlier concepts or are having trouble connecting them to the new concepts being taught. So we will fill any gaps needed anywhere we need before moving on and practicing new concepts. I have found that students really appreciate it from this angle and it cuts down on the frustration while increasing our success rate. 

I can create a lesson for just about any subject for any grade. If there is a subject I'm not great at, I let students in on the learning process. I teach adult education at a local community college where I teach high school and junior high level reading, science, social studies, writing, language, and math so feel free to ask about any of that as well as anything else such as test taking, writing essays for other classes, financial literacy, social skills, or anything else!

Here are some examples 1:1 tutoring I have done in the past.
-7th grade math that is of World War 1.
-6th grade math that is anime themed.
-5th grade math that is football themed.
-4th grade math that is Pokémon themed.
-2nd grade math that is hello kitty themed


**Math Help**
Next we move into the bulk part of our lesson for class. These can be any math topic for students from 3rd grade up to 8th grade. We have built in lessons over place value, rounding, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, word problems, fractions, order of operations, decimals, percentages, geometry, algebra, data and statistics, converting measurements, expressions, equations, algebra, order of operations, and more. 



*Essay help**
I also have found that I really enjoy writing papers. In college I always enjoyed writing composition and exposition papers and then I started teaching them as part of my Adult Education classes. I feel very comfortable helping students become better writers of an essay by going over what an essay is and making sure we understand the different types as well as be given tips and tricks on how to write a good essay. My students have a very high success rate in passing the essay part of their test. I believe out of 40 students that I sign up for the test have passed their essay on the first attempt. If it's essay help you need, I will spend class going through the steps in how to write a good essay and reply to a prompt. We will end with a little grammar practice. Additional sessions can be booked to spend time working with students on practice essays as well as assist with homework from other classes. 




***CLASS INSPIRATION***
I was already teaching on Outschool when I found out that they do 1:1 tutoring. I had been teaching both online on other platforms and in-person both at a community college and a K-12 school for 8 years. I felt like with as much teaching as I have done I surely have a lot to give back. Turns out, it was a lot of fun! I love the process that I have worked out for online tutoring sessions and helping kids with their goals. Watching them understand something after teaching it to them is the ultimate thrill and online teaching gives me a way to do it all of the time!
