Parents, does your child need extra help with their reading and writing assignments? Consider this class to be your afterschool headquarters for supplemental English instruction. Before our scheduled tutoring sessions begin, let us have a conversation about your child's performance in their English Language Arts classes. Think about the following questions: 
What is the student doing well in their ELAR classes, and what skills need improvement? 
I will use parent-provided information to informally assess the student's learning level and prepare appropriate lesson materials. 

The class structure is as follows:  
1. Each session starts with a brief journal-writing assignment.  (5 minutes) 

 2. If the student has homework, I will first reteach concepts taught in their core class(es). After working through a few example questions, the student will complete their school assignment(s) with guidance.
If the student does not have homework, I will give a mini-lesson focusing on one of the student's struggle areas. The student will then complete both teacher-guided and independent practice questions following the lesson. (20 minutes) 

3. Tutoring sessions will end with a student-centered review activity to check for understanding. (5 minutes) 

My goal is to help students develop their reading, writing, and grammar skills through both explicit and student-centered instruction.
