課堂經歷
During each class, we will begin by going over our conversation rules: no unkind words, no interrupting, and no referencing sensitive topics. Then each student will be asked to type a conversation prompt (such as "What's your favorite memory?" or "What food do you really dislike and why?") into the chat, and I will choose one for us to begin class with. We will start by discussing that topic and then build on each other's ideas to create a lasting conversation. The other prompts put into the chat will be used if/when our conversation reaches a lull. I will participate in the discussion and moderate, ensuring that all students get to talk and no one is interrupted. At the end of every class, I will privately message each student with their "grade" for the class -- their grade will be lessened for interrupting others, talking too much, or suddenly changing the topic of conversation without giving others a chance to speak. An "A" grade will be given to any students who listen and participate actively without dominating the conversation. I will give feedback respectfully and kindly, offering suggestions for how to handle future conversations better. I am a kind and encouraging teacher; I am great at making students feel at ease. I will ensure that conversations stay polite and that we avoid topics of religion and politics! This class is a fun way to practice social skills and gain confidence.
學習目標
Students will hone their listening and speaking skills. They will learn how to share ideas and thoughts with others in a way that doesn't monopolize a conversation but does allow them to share things.

教師專業知識和證書
Hello!
My name is Maura, and I'm an actor, musician, poet, and teacher. I have been teaching and tutoring for fifteen years. I'm always excited to share what I've learned with my students!
I graduated summa cum laude from Carthage College with degrees in Music and Theater Performance, and have been performing professionally as an actor and musician. I regularly perform with a children's theater that teaches kids about conservation!
I am also a published poet, and a professional ghostwriter and freelance book editor. As a huge nerd, I have read and am currently reading countless books, and I have an in-depth knowledge of plot creation and good literary structure.
I also teach life skills, particularly cultivating motivation and dealing with overwhelming or negative emotions. I was home-schooled until college, and I am an extremely self-motivated person, as well as a problem-solver. As a highly sensitive person, I have to deal with stress often and have discovered numerous ways to deal with the inevitable tensions that life brings to us! I learned to be a positive person in high school, and I love teaching students ways to appreciate what is good even in the midst of negative situations.
I am a very kind, patient, and encouraging teacher. I do well with both quiet and energetic students. My approach is question based, and I not only teach my students new information, I teach them how to arrive at valuable conclusions themselves. I use time efficiently, and am well prepared for every lesson I teach. I was homeschooled through high school, and I have a lot of respect for homeschooling parents and students.
I hope to see you virtually soon!
