💁🏻‍♀️What will be taught?
No two private lessons will be the same. My lessons are tailored to the independent learner. While group classes are wonderful, there are some learners that thrive in a 1-on-1 environment. The goal of my private lessons is to make the learner feel great about what they have accomplished and ready to learn more. 

💁🏻‍♀️What topics will you cover?
The exact topics taught in each lesson will differ depending on the student. For a 3 year old beginning to read, we will focus on letter identification, letter games, and phonemic awareness. For an 11 year old who can read but has a hard time understanding what was read, we will focus on making inferences, retelling small segments of the text, making predictions, and understanding difficult vocabulary words. 

💁🏻‍♀️As soon as a caregiver books a lesson, they will be sent questions to give me background knowledge on their learner. I will use that to put a lesson plan together. That plan will be sent to the caregiver to ensure they know what to expect in our lesson. If you have any questions before signing up, please do not hesitate to reach out. 

💁🏻‍♀️How is your class structured?
In my private lessons, the entire 45 minutes is used to encourage and foster learning. While I do give students a small brain break, research shows that these breaks increase memory retention and boost productivity. We will start by getting to know each other. For young learners we will sing a song and read a small engaging book. For older learners, this includes a learner led discussion. Towards the end of our lesson, we will play educational games that aid in production of whichever skills we are focusing on. After the lesson, I will send caregivers a progress report outlining everything that was worked on in the lesson, and it will include optional outside work. 

💁🏻‍♀️How will you teach? 
When I teach, I am very enthusiastic with learners. I want them to enjoy what we are doing. Through the years of working with different ages and different learnings styles, I have developed an approach that aims to teach without the students feeling like they are in an academic lesson. This helps with motivation!
