Hello! Welcome to my profile! My name is Courtney Como. I mainly teach English language arts and reading classes to students in preschool through 2nd grade [ages 3-8]. My lessons are primarily focused on reading and phonics skills. I specialize in teaching online classes with private, one-on-one instruction. My teaching strategies are tailored to meet your child's needs based on their interests and skill level. This allows me to teach at your child's pace while adapting the lesson to your child. I love interacting with students individually while providing them with the attention and support that they need to succeed. I am friendly, encouraging, and very patient.

I have 4 years of online teaching experience. This experience includes teaching ESL [English as a Second Language] online to beginner and intermediate level students from China and other countries along with teaching English language arts and reading classes online to preschool and elementary school students from all over the world. Overall, I have taught over 1000+ online classes thus far! I also have 1-2 years of experience tutoring elementary and middle school students while attending college. I have a Bachelor of General Studies with specializations in Psychology and Education from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. I also completed an advanced TESOL [English Teaching] certificate as well. My goal is to not only teach students, but to inspire them to reach their full potential and encourage them to learn to the best of their ability.

I have 9 years of experience mentoring and advocating for children and families in the nonprofit sector. Later, I decided to pursue a non-traditional career in education, which is teaching online. Learning doesn’t just take place inside the classroom. I love being able to teach students from all over the world through an internet connection. I am so excited to continue my teaching endeavors with Outschool! 

Parents, if you are interested in a class, but don't see a time that works for you, please send me a message. I will try my best to accommodate your child's schedule. If you need to cancel class within 24 hours of start time or if your child misses class, please send me a message. I am more than happy to reschedule class per request.
