Hello! My name is Yehna Kim. I graduated from Wheaton College, IL with a bachelor’s in Elementary Education and with a concentration in Special Education. I am certified to teach in both areas. I have been teaching special education classes for two years. Before college, I have experience tutoring elementary students since high school and continued to do so throughout my college career. Something I am grateful for my Education Department is that they required us to tutor and teach in a real classroom starting from freshman year of college. Every semester I either tutored or co-taught in a general education classroom or a special education resource room.
I love getting to know my elementary students, especially students from grades 2-4. They keep you on your feet and embrace every creative method experimented. I believe that there is no one curriculum fits all, and so I work hard to learn and implement ways to best challenge and support my students to understand all subjects presented to them.
I have learn to and have created my own reading and writing lesson plan. Each subject is unique in its own way, but I also find it important to connect each subject for the student to see the whole picture of why it is important they learn each areas of English. Instead of simply reading some short stories to improve their comprehension and fluency, they also focus on comprehension and fluency through discussion, making their own predictions, creating sentences using the vocabulary they learned, and understanding using those strategies to best learn of the themes and lesson behind each story and lesson they are taught.
One on one and small groups are areas I thrive in and am passionate about, so feel free to reach out to me via email: [email protected].
Once we get in touch through email, I am more than open to talk on the phone in order for you to get to know me better and see if you would like to work with me. I check my email frequently so I will do my best to contact you back as soon as possible.
