About Kevin

I am a professional writer and a state-certified teacher. I don't offer generic lessons. Instead, I get to know my students and create engaging, fun learning tasks.

I have taught college and adult learners, and I am experienced in teaching K-12 students. I have never had a student fail because I have a keen eye for learning issues and a knack for creating solutions for those issues.

Personalized Lesson Plan for High School English Tutoring Session with Kori

Fundamentals of Writing
Review the basic components of a well-written essay (introduction, body, conclusion)

Discuss the importance of creating an outline before beginning to write

Provide examples and analogies related to Kori's interests (e.g. comparing an essay to a race where the outline is like a track map)

Breaking Down Papers into Manageable Parts

Review different types of essays and their structures (e.g. persuasive, informative)

Teach strategies for breaking down papers into manageable parts, such as creating subheadings or bullet points

Provide examples and analogies related to Kori's interests (e.g. breaking down an essay into sections is like breaking down a taekwondo form into individual moves)

Improving Writing Skills

Provide tips for improving writing skills, such as using descriptive language and varying sentence structure

Practice identifying and correcting common grammar mistakes
Incorporate visual aids, such as diagrams or videos, to enhance understanding and retention for Kori's visual learning style

Tailoring Writing to Audience and Purpose

Discuss the importance of considering audience and purpose when writing (e.g. using appropriate tone and language for different audiences)

Provide examples and practice exercises for tailoring writing to different audiences and purposes (e.g. writing an email versus writing a research paper)

Encourage Kori to think about her own experiences and interests when considering audience and purpose

Practice Writing and Feedback

Provide writing prompts related to topics of interest to Kori (e.g. writing about her experiences in track or taekwondo, playing bass, raising pigs)

Provide feedback on Kori's writing and encourage her to ask questions and seek clarification as needed

Closing Thoughts

Overall, this lesson plan aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals of writing, while tailoring the content and examples to Kori's interests and learning style. By breaking down papers into manageable parts, improving writing skills, tailoring writing to audience and purpose, and providing opportunities for practice and feedback, we hope to help Kori develop greater confidence and proficiency in her English class.
