    I will offer your child guided reading assistance. Guided Reading will help your child develop reading proficiency, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. We will be using digital short stories in this lesson. For adults, I can also assistance you with reading , grammar and writing. Essay writing, creative writing and blog writing. Your child will be introduced to reading strategies: breaking words into parts, stretching sounds out, looking for smaller words within a word, finding the base word, adding ending and beginning sounds to help solve tricky words. * You will be introduced to a new story. We will do a book walk. This happens before reading. We look at the book title, cover and pictures in the story and make predictions about what the book will be about. * I will go over some of the challenging words that will be in the story to help make the text more familiar for you. * I will model how to read a sentence with a challenging word from the story, using a reading strategy. * Your child will take turns reading the story aloud, implementing reading strategies when needed with support from me. * Your child will answer several comprehension questions. Please see the list of example questions. Each set of questions will be unique and based on the story. * We will write a written response of a summary of the story. I will model writing, using paragraph formation. As a class we will write part of the summary together. I will then add some vocabulary words onto the screen to help students add some descriptive words to their writing. Students are then encouraged to add a couple more sentences on their own to the summary. Please have a piece of paper on hand for writing. * After writing, we will work on vocabulary from the story that we have read through a digital game.

    Arianit
    German Language for Beginners (Deutsch - A1 und A2)
    German as a foreign language can be hard, especially regarding the grammar part. Always focusing on the structures of the sentences can be challenging and demotivating when trying to connect the sentences in a communication environment. That is why with the help of this class, you'll get more confident in building strong sentences without the stress usually involved. As a foreign speaker of German of over 3 years, there's no other person that understands the struggles better than I do. We will cover all the fundamentals with the background of grammar and syntax so that we are able to create a strong base for future advanced levels.

    Hélène
    FLE (FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE) and SCHOOL SUPPORT IN ENGLISH AND ITALIAN
    My name is Helen. I lived abroad for over 25 years: in Great Britain where I taught FLE, then in Belgium where I worked with European institutions on projects, and finally in Italy for 20 years where I was called upon to teach FLE at the University of Turin and where, at the same time, I directed cultural projects linked to French-speaking literature at a local institution, il Circolo dei Lettori. My FLE teaching is pragmatic, progressive and tailor-made. Why ? Because before teaching, I had to personally confront learning languages: English, then Spanish, Portuguese and finally Italian. I thus understood what is useful and what is less so for entering another language, what gives the pleasure of seeing oneself progress, of beginning to speak, to understand, to write... The FLE course, that is to say French as a Foreign Language, is certainly intended for those who wish to learn French in order to fit into a French-speaking context, but also for children/adolescents who do not have the grammatical bases to be good at school. A language, any language, cannot be acquired just "at random", it has a structure called grammar through which one must progress in order to learn. DON’T PANIC, GRAMMAR CAN BE APPROACHED WITH PLEASURE! All my many students have liked the progression that I give to my lessons and the relevance of my pedagogical approach, serious and fun at the same time.
