Virtual English Language Tutoring with Kelly Sage

Working one-on-one, your student and I will work on the specific skills they are struggling to master. Each class is structured according to the learner’s individual needs.

I offer tutoring through Outschool and Creative ELA. Some families prefer to use Outschool’s platform. Others prefer to work with me privately. It’s up to each family.

Sessions are $40 an hour on Creative ELA. On Outschool, I charge $57 to make up for their 30% fee. No shows are not refunded.

All sessions are held on Zoom.

Here’s a basic breakdown of the differences-

I offer three types of tutoring classes on Outschool and Creative ELA. To learn more, keep reading. The links will take you to the Outschool registration page. To schedule through Creative ELA, please email me- kellysageATcuriosityencouragedDOTcom

Individual English Language Arts Tutoring

Schedule a 1:1 class any time your child or teen needs help with reading comprehension, writing, study skills, finding interest, homework, and/or test prep.

Ideal for students who need just a session or two of help, or for those who want to make sure I’m a good fit for their child.

Weekly One-on-One Online English Language Arts Tutoring for Students

A 1:1 weekly or bi-weekly class for students who need help with reading comprehension, writing, study skills, finding interest, homework, and/or test prep.

Let’s Learn English! 1:1 English Language Arts Tutoring Sessions

Let’s Learn English is a 1:1 tutoring session individually designed for each learner’s level and goals. I choose books and materials specifically geared to help your student learn and practice English.

We will read, write, play games, and talk in English during each class.

Depending on your student’s level, I will teach-

Phonics, Vocabulary, Sight Words, Spelling, Grammar, Reading Comprehension, Writing

All English language arts tutoring sessions are interactive through Zoom and Wayground.

Students can circle, write, and interact with the screen.

We will practice the “I do-we do-you do” method, where students are directly taught the material, we practice together, and students are then invited to show their understanding independently.

For younger students, songs, puppets, and games are used to teach and engage.

For older students, games and high-interest topics like video games, animals, music, and sports are used to teach and engage.

For advanced students, high-interest literature, non-fiction, and discussion are used to teach and engage.

Before I teach your child, I will ask for information regarding their interests to ensure the books and materials I use are engaging. Learners will interact with me during the entire class.

Learners do not need to know English to take this class. I will meet them at their level.

If you are interested in English language arts tutoring, please contact me on Outschool or email me kellysageATcuriosityencouragedDOTcom to schedule a session. We will find a time that meets your needs. If you are looking to schedule an ongoing session, please let me know so I can schedule that type of class for you. All tutoring classes are scheduled privately.

Kelly Sage ~ I am a middle/high school English teacher and a certified writing facilitator through Women Writing for (a) Change. I facilitate online and local reading and writing workshops for children, teens, and adults. I also help homeschoolers and teachers find the resources and strategies they need to help their students overcome challenges, struggles, and enjoy learning. I am currently teaching on Creative ELA, Outschool, and Cambly.

I spent ten years working with students in college prep and remedial classrooms. Much of my work focused on helping students with dyslexia and other learning differences. My classes help readers and writers create and grow by nurturing interest, self-awareness, and connection. I also work with families to create family rhythms, problem-solve challenges and struggles, organize reading/writing workshops, create conscious learning environments, and build connections in homes and classrooms.
