Friendly and Experienced Private Tutor
Description
I am a friendly and experienced teacher. I am the Head of the English and Social Sciences Departments at a private school in Waterloo. I offer online private lessons.
17 years experience in education as a High School Teacher, Teaching Assistant (16 courses), Research Assistant and Tutor for Learning Disabilities Association. I have a wealth of knowledge and approaches to meet you or your child where you at and build on important skills and strategies.
Schedules can be once weekly, bi-weekly or once a month check ins. Whatever works best for your family.
I offer the following 1:1 services:
(1) Tutoring Sessions
Customized content to suit your child’s needs and interests. I plan sessions ahead of time, create learning goals that are shared with your family and track progress.
(2) Hands Off / Partial Check Ins
Private Google Classroom just for your child and I. Weekly activities posted Sunday or Mondays. Grading, leaving digital comments and feedback. 15 minute virtual check in at week’s end. For my older students (Grade 7-12) whose schedules may not allow for an hour 1:1.
(3) Homework / Essay / Project Guidance - Once a week, or as needed
Rely on my experience as a classroom teacher to guide and support your child with meeting Level 4 Criteria for essays and step-heavy projects.
(4) Editing and Proofreading - Virtual
Great for my high school, university and grad school clients. No need for video appointments. Let me proofread, edit, add my digital comments and email back to you!
(5) ESL Speaking Support
Let’s work on those mouth muscles, confidence level, and pronunciation in private speaking sessions with me over Zoom.
(6) Advanced Reading and Writing
Is your child an advanced or gifted student? Let’s read an appropriately challenging novel and complete a Senior Level Book Report or Literary Essay. Shakespeare? No sweat.
High interest lessons! I’m not your childhood tutor. Topics are modern and geared towards your child interests!
Examples:
-Privacy and Surveillance
-Hip-Hop and Poetry
-World War II
-Video/Multimedia Comprehension
-Marketing: An Apple Case Study
-Topics in Literature
-Film Analysis
-Current Events
I am knowledgeable with implementing IEPs and understand “teacher language”!
Oftentimes, traditional classroom teaching methods fail to reach many students: learning is not a one-size-fits-all process. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities and believe that helping a student begins with reaching them on their level. I am compassionate and caring and believe each student has the potential for improvement and success.
My fee is $40/hour.
I so look forward to chatting with you further about your child and hope to meet you soon!
