Elementary school teacher with over ten years experience, and certified ESL teacher, offers vocabulary lessons to kindergarten up to grade six students in your home, in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

Methodology

My teaching methods are the use of word and picture flash cards, real life situations, nature, field trips drama, role playing, drawings, colouring, painting, singing, the use of audio visual aids, etc. This methodolgy was geared towards students in kindergarten, or grades one or two. It was a structured setting, but fun and with a lot of flexibility to cater to the needs of students with different learning styles and abilities.
I think I am great at teaching because I love To teach. I am fun, energetic, and I am able to get kids to love reading, love school, and even love to do homework.
A typical class could start with : A warm up song which would include the words to be taught that day. The song would be written on the white board and read with repetition through out the lesson. Next the use of flash cards. Then group matching of the cards.(pictures and words) Each student would then go up to the board to identify a specified word, followed by a word or picture treasure hunt.
