As someone who loved anything to do with reading, writing, or English in school, I strive to help students in grades K-12 get the grades they need to succeed!

Mount Vernon High School
My approach to teaching writing is to get the student deep into their creative mind and truly imagine that they, themselves are in the scene they're writing about. I also get them to notice how the author is describing what they write. I've noticed that doing so teaches them better descriptive language!
Reading aloud, and visual posters/whiteboards
I read aloud with them, and encourage them to read books or whatever they like as much as they can! My favorite thing is to have the student read slightly above their level and pick about 3 new words to define, which better expands vocabulary.
I encourage my students to ask lots of questions, but to show their evidence as well!
One of the main ways is by having my student watch how I say the word, and then have them repeat. Reading the word at a slower speed and really emphasizing how it is pronounced and enunciated.
I had a HUGE fear of public speaking when it came to presentations in class - my personal favorite way is through light humor!
This all depends on the student's age
I explain to them that learning English, just like learning any other languge is a process. For example - I, myself am learning Spanish and even I have trouble - especially when I'm switching between two languages at once!
All school counties are different, and I will be serving a few - the best way to make sure I'm up to date with your child's curriculum is to work with their teacher at school as well so I can stay in the loop :)
I help them build their confidence in the types of questions they'll be facing. Timed writing practice or writing prompts seem to be very effective as well!
I make sure to teach them in the way that they, as an individual student, need to be taught. All students are different, but I always do very hands on and (quite literally) colorful learning!
Of course!
If I have them, I always provide :)
Sadly, no :(
If I have the resources, always!
Roleplay!
Visuals, such as videos and diagrams are usually the best way!
I let them know that the world has all sorts of beautiful and creative minds, and to not fear rejection - the worst thing someone can tell you is "no", and it gets you closer to a "yes" every time!
