I am in Las Vegas and looking for some students.

English Reading

Empower your child to read English independently. Whether a native English speaker or a second-language learner, English phonics instruction will lead them to successfully and fluently read English.

  • hour long sessions

  • in-person only

  • conveniently at your home

  • ages 3-7

  • phonics survey to record and track your child’s progress

English Grammar

It is important to learn grammar to improve writing, but for both native English speakers and second-language learners, grammar is often taught without writing. Help your child improve their English writing by first improving their understanding of grammar.

  • hour long sessions

  • in-person only

  • conveniently at your home

  • ages 7+

  • instruction in sentence diagramming to visually and logically chart English grammar

Speech Writing and Coaching

To effectively deliver a speech, the writing must match the event and the personal style of the speaker. Enhance the power of your public delivery with a two-step process:

1) Writing and editing your speech to match your style, the tone of your message, and the caliber of the event.

2) Practice delivering your speech with special attention to tone, pronunciation, pacing, and expression to elevate the importance of your message.

writing

  • brainstorming, drafting, writing, and editing the speech

    • can assist with the whole writing process or a part

    • brainstorming and editing can be in-person or virtually

    • I will draft and write your speech on my time so that it is ready for your coaching sessions or event.

coaching

  • in-person coaching at your home, office, or the speech venue

“My son had Mr. Paquin in fourth grade, and for the first time, he was able to gain confidence in his public speaking skills! So when I found out that I had to speak on behalf of a philanthropic organization to encourage 60 women to make charitable donations, I knew just who to call! 

Mr. Paquin was able to adjust my written words to flow with more ease when spoken. He taught me how to use, and when not to use, my hands appropriately. He suggested when to add pauses… for dramatic effect. He skillfully demonstrated the best way to stand, make eye contact, and project my voice. 

Before I knew it, my presentation came together like the perfect ingredients in a chocolate chip cookie recipe. If even one ‘ingredient”’was left out, the cookie would not have been so delicious! Thank you Chef Paquin! “

Teacher Training

Teaching children phonics is the best way for them to learn how to read English, but it can be difficult thinking of and designing phonics tasks and games to keep your students engaged. If you are a primary/elementary, kindergarten, or preschool teacher looking for ways to keep your phonics lessons engaging but academic, I have various phonics tasks that target specific spelling patterns or literacy gaps. Whether you are one teacher, a grade level, or a staff of teachers, I can share with you how to keep phonics fresh for your learners.
