FAQ
How does this work?
The power of the internet makes it all possible! I’ll connect with your child via Zoom. I have a multitude of resources to make our lessons fun and engaging. Each week, I’ll send you detailed notes of our objectives and specific feedback for your child.
What teaching materials do you use?
That depends entirely on the needs of our students. Each lesson is crafted with students in mind. During lessons, I make notes of students skills and areas for improvement. We pull from a variety of sources, both online and printed, aligned to the school’s curriculum to meet our learning targets while helping students solidify their foundations.
How do you assess students?
I have a range of reading and math assessments I employ to gauge student understanding. However, I also have keen understanding of academic development and easily diagnose miscues in conversation and written work.
Have you taught international students before?
Yes! As a highly-regarded, former BASIS International School Guangzhou teacher, I understand the curriculum and structure of the school, pre-kindergarten through grade twelve. The choice to pursue international education is a significant commitment I fully understand.
What did you teach there?
I taught English and Humanities to students, completely revamping the curriculum. Parents of my students may remember a detailed weekly packet I designed containing all assignments for the week with our objectives and homework listed on the front. I also mentored new teachers and presented to school faculty on IXL usage, literacy instruction, and curriculum planning.
Where are you located?
I live near Atlanta, Georgia which is 12 or 13 hours apart from China depending on Daylight Saving Time.
How do we schedule being so far apart?
It’s actually quite easy! Courses occur in the evening China time, early morning U.S. time. Private tutoring options usually take place on the weekends China time. During school breaks, more flexible options are available
