As your student reads out loud I will be actively supporting by listening for pronunciation (correcting as needed), verifying knowledge of vocabulary words (explaining as needed as well as providing visuals when possible), double checking their reading comprehension, as well as providing lots of positive feedback to fuel both their confidence and continued reading. This is an especially wonderful class for those learning English as a Second Language (ESL) and, aside from a bachelor’s in English, I also hold a TEFL certificate. In each class, I will take notes in a document regarding words corrected, vocabulary discussed/explained, focus areas of pronunciation (specific areas to look for), and anything else regarding that specific. These notes will be uploaded in the classroom within 24 hours after the class (typically within an hour after). I do this for both the student and parents to refer to as needed, as well as show what was worked on/discussed that day. While this is a weekly class, additional classes enrolled in will stay in line with their current reading.

Aside from a bachelor’s in English, I also hold a TEFL certificate. I have a lot of experience working with children, both English and non-English speakers, from around the world. So I'm very patient and understanding to the individual needs of each student.
