Online:
Using Google Meet, I prefer to give an introductory lesson in my own home before switching to remote lessons. The student and I build up a rapport in the first lesson. The structure of the program is explained and depending on the readiness of the student, targets and rewards to work towards will be discussed and given. Subsequent lessons are by agreement to reinforce good technique and motivation. I have been recently described as 'The Mary Poppins of typing'.
Once students achieve the required accuracy in dictation and speed for their age group I work with them to plan their own stories and essays with strategies that complement their personal learning style. The Freewriting program within TTRS is a useful extension for this purpose.
