Kara's Tutoring

"No matter what your ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment." -Carol Dweck Dweck is a leader in education who teaches us the power of YET. What an incredible opportunity it is to be in the position of an educator who can shift a student's perspective to a growth mindset. > "I can't do it... YET."

This will certainly be making its way up on to my wall if I end up in an English classroom.

Hello! I am back! Now with a Bachelor's degree under my belt. I am so happy to have my newest tutor, Daphne, on board who has taken over with the students in the Niagara region. She is continuing to accept new students at this time. If you or someone you know is looking for tutoring in French or Literacy in St. Catharines or Niagara Falls, please contact me for more information! I am still tutoring as well, but now out of Kingston as I'm currently in teacher's college at Que...ens University. What a whirlwind of schooling, right?! If you'd like online tutoring sessions with me (French, English), let me know! June is almost upon us, so Daphne and I are ready and eager to accept new students for the summer months!

Parlez-vous français? Non?! On va apprendre! Do you speak French? No?! We will learn!

Such a wonderful reminder for the youngsters! (this is my binder cover page at the moment)

Black Lives Matter. We must listen, learn, and act. This is a movement; I’m dedicated to finding my place within it as an educator. I’m committed to calling out and being called out on fuelling racial injustice, inequitable practices, and ultimately upholding a system that disproportionately benefits White people. Teaching is political and as such, teachers need to be okay with interrupting the status quo in order to work towards more equitable and diverse spaces.

Here’s a YA that I read last month with a mini synopsis; I’m always looking for good reads that I can reccommend to students

Excited about this one!!

School's out for the summer!! Time to have some fun in the sun
