Engaging ELA Tutoring

I am a 7th grade ELA teacher in St. Clair Shores, MI. All throughout my life I have been dedicated and have had a strong love for learning. In middle/high school I spent my time in advanced placement ELA classes, and in college I exceeded in my writing and reading classes. I currently have my Bachelor's in Elementary Education/English Language Arts from Central Michigan University, however, I am not limited to just elementary and middle school grades. I have strong knowledge of high school writing, expectations, literature, and standards. In the next few years, I will be receiving my Master's. Ideally, it will be in a young adult and children's literature program.

I have tutored students since I was in college. I spent time tutoring at multiple elementary schools in the area as well as at their middle school after school. When I tutor your child, you should expect to see an engaging hands on approach. I run my classroom with minimal lectures and a majority project based learning and engaging hands on activities. By doing this, the students learn to become accountable for their own work, and explore at their own time. You can expect to see this same style in the tutoring, just in a more direct one-on-one session. I will be more hands on in our learning. Because of this style, I am proud to say that my students have aquired very strong ELA skills by the end of the school year.

My goals for tutoring your child are to help build their skills, and to help them feel more confident in their class. Whether we are editing their essays for college or high school, relearning possessive nouns, or just as simple as finishing a project, you can expect that your child will receive hands on help and guidance.
