Math and English Tutoring: I've been teaching and tutoring Math and English for over 30 years and I'm passionate about inspiring young people to enjoy learning and succeed! I tutor grades K-Geometry in Math. I am also available for SAT/ACT or other test prep and study skills tutoring. In addition, I tutor basic English skills (ESL) to 12th grade+. My fee is $25 an hour, due monthly by the first of the month, before tutoring begins. My availability is Thursdays 9-5pm, although I may have a few hours available on other days depending on my upcoming schedule. I can accept 1-6 students per week and I am available year round.

Tutoring one to one although I am open to tutoring multiple students from the same family together depending on the situation. $30/hr. Several Students from the same family would still be the fee for 1 hr. If it became apparent the needs could not be met for multiple siblings we might have to increase the number of hours. Contact me at BJ888@runbox.com to schedule.

Most people would rather have a root canal than speak in public! This class will utilize creative techniques to break the public speaking sweats/butterflies! This class not only helps to give confidence to speak in public but makes it fun! Throughout the educational journey, every student will need this skill repeatedly. We will tell stories, use funny subjects, come up with vivid language and practice how to listen and learn from others. Each student will be giving impromptu and researched speeches throughout the term. The most important part of this class is helping each other become better by sharing feedback in a fun and creative way. No passive listening!
Requirements:
Must be able to write at least three paragraphs about any given topic, be able to research a topic, be able to listen quietly to other students with respect.
This course is an excellent opportunity for students to conquer their fears and develop essential communication skills! Recognizing the widespread apprehension surrounding public speaking, the course aims to equip students with the tools and confidence needed to excel in various speaking scenarios.
Covering both small and large-group communication ensures that students are prepared to engage effectively in any setting, whether it's a one-on-one conversation, a group discussion, or a formal presentation. Through a variety of projects such as speeches, PowerPoint presentations, and small group meetings, students will have ample opportunities to practice and refine their speaking abilities.
Puppetry has been around for thousands of years. Let's Explore. Puppetry has a rich artistic & theatrical history throughout the world which will be discussed during class time. Students learn about different kinds of puppets: marionettes, hand puppets, finger, sock, shadow puppets, fuzzy creature puppets and more! In this class students will create their own puppets using various materials. Many materials used are recycled or found at home so students can easily recreate their new found hobby with ease.
Storytelling and character development will also progress students into advanced puppeteering overtime. Classmates will participate in collaborative script writing exercises and perform classic and original pieces during class time. Puppet making and puppeteering go hand in hand during our hands-on 2 hour class. Most of all students will have fun creating & making friends along the way! Join today :)
Requirements:
Must be able to follow multi step directions. Students must follow glue gun protocol and classroom safety rules. I will provide guidance and safety instruction.
Welcome to Read Aloud Read Along! The books I chose to read are: The Tale of Jolly Robin, The Tale of Solomon Owl, and, if we have time, The Tale of Paddy Muskrat. They tell about the adventures of these small creatures and their friends. They are filled with joy, compassion, warmth, laughter, and much more. We will not only read their stories, but throughout the books, we will learn a little bit about these birds and the muskrat. The students will retell the stories chapter by chapter, and work on some early reading skills, or different activities for their level.
Requirements:
Ability to sit and listen for 30 minutes without being a distraction to the other kids.
