Shauna Lane
Tutor For English Language Arts and Private ESL Teacher
I tutor English Language Arts and I am a Private ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. I meet students at their level and help them master the learning skills needed for success. I assess each student's needs and create individualized lesson plans that will not only foster success and get them to the next level but will help them build lifelong skills for learning. I am a Nationally Certified Tutor through The National Tutoring Association and have a Bachelor of Science in Education from Central Connecticut State University. I am also trained in the Orton-Gillingham method for reading and writing. My background in the performing arts (stand-up and acting) has given me the unique ability to problem solve while keeping a sense of humor and steadfastly supporting the academic success of my students.

My sole purpose is to help each student succeed academically in a positive manner. I will foster a constructive environment and provide open communication to enable the student's growth.

In turn, this provides a strong base for their educational growth and well-being.
