About Korrie

I have been editing papers and helping college students build strong papers for 8 years. More recently I have spent time substitute teaching elementary age children and working to bring up their reading, vocabulary, and writing skills.

I love being able to help students capture that elusive spark that shows them the literary world they've been missing.

I have been editing papers and helping college students improve their grades for a long time. However, teaching is a recent development for me. I was called for an interview with Kelly Education Services in November of last year for a substitute position. I completed my training and certification and began teaching in January with elementary students.

I'm a state-licensed substitute teacher from New Mexico with a lifelong passion for reading and writing. I've worked alongside students, even while being a student myself, to help them read and write the best they can.

About the lesson

I like to see samples of work, so I'll give a small writing request, and ask them to read something out loud. Or I'll review some past work. Mostly, in the first session, I want to get to know my student, a lot of my assignments are custom-tailored to my student's interests/needs.

I have worked with college students, high school students, and elementary students. I've worked with special needs kids with IEPs and kids from hard backgrounds. I've worked with kids resistant to learning and kids who have a hard time focusing. I'm very lucky to have worked with a lot of different students.

Make sure that they care. Anyone can read or write to a degree of acceptability. But having someone who actually cares and will learn how you learn and explain things in ways you can understand matters the most. A teacher who doesn't care won't be able to do that.

My last class lost their teacher at the beginning of the year due to disciplinary action. They were very unruly due to the lack of structure and scared away various substitutes. I was able to be with them for a few months and I cherish every moment I spent. I have every drawing given to me and think of my students often.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you have a hard time with? What interests you most and will help guide the teacher to making the lessons interesting and relevant? Do you have the patience to explain your problem?

During coronavirus, things have been difficult for us all. I'm willing to do $20 for an hour-long session. Or I am flexible for a weekly flat fee. I honestly just want to make a difference, money is not my highest motivation.
