In the first session, we would have a few ice-breakers to get to know one another. Then, we will assess your needs to determine what to focus on for lessons. We will set up goals to accomplish and the timeline in which to accomplish them. We will determine your best way of learning and structure our lessons around how you learn. In the general sessions, we will begin with ice-breakers and then use a series of quizzes to refresh the previous session. Next, we will focus on the lessons that you particularly need such as; pronunciation, sentence structure, grammar, paragraph structure, essay structure, conversation practice and any other needs determined from the first session. We will end with a short, fun review of the day's learning and then discuss what will be covered in the next session. In closing a session I will ask you for feedback to ensure I am hitting the topics you want to learn and that we are reaching our goals agreed upon in the first session. I plan to use interesting materials such as online quizzes, puzzles and programs in video chat where materials can be screen shared. I like learning to be fun and thought-provoking so that you stay interested. I make myself available for any questions via email or during the sessions so you can feel sure that you feel supported with plenty of help. My goal is that you are clear on what is being taught in our sessions, so I encourage asking as many questions as needed. I have experience in writing essays in APA and Harvard formats. I can give help with how to brainstorm, outline, and structure an essay. I can also offer some help on the subjects of psychology, self-esteem, assertiveness, tools for learning and some coping skills and coaching. I have lots of experience with people from 7 years of age to young adults, and seniors.
