About Hannah

I'm a musician and a theatre-maker in my spare time, and I love to integrate that element into my teaching style. Silly songs abound in my sessions!

I love connecting with my students, whether it be about mutual interests or learning style or the subject matter or something entirely different! I love seeing their eyes light up and hearing the "OH!" when they finally "get it." I find it incredibly fulfilling and I strive for it.

I have a bachelor's degree in Theatre Performance with a minor in Creative Writing. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Bradley University.

About the lesson

It depends on what they're working on!

If a student is having issues reading, I ask them to read me a text out loud. That way I can hear if the issue is with fluency, vocabulary, phonics, comprehension, or something else altogether.

If a student is having trouble spelling, I pull a catch-all spelling list from my resources and run through it with the student. We play a version of "Hangman;" I tell them the word, and show them how many letters it is, and ask them to guess what letters are in it until we have it. This way, I get a grasp of which areas are difficult for them.

A student I've worked with for three years now, when asked to stand up and spell "square," responded with "Okay, let me do something." I figured he was going to go get his new puppy again to show him to me, so I prepared myself to say "that's all right," but before I could, he got out of his seat, did a jazz square and spelled "square" correctly, one letter on each footstep.

I was stunned. That was something I'd taught him a LONG time ago that I figured he'd long since forgotten. I asked, "Hey, did I teach you that?"

He responded with, "Yeah, before COVID!"

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your learning style?

How do you need me to apply that in order for you to learn at your best?
