About

Welcome to the Read Along series on Schoolhouse! Each week, I will read a chapter of a pre-selected play/book and responding to questions regarding it. Sessions will consist of the tutor reading the novel out loud and learners having the opportunity to follow along, share their opinions, and analyze the text.

The last time I held this series back in 2021, learners said the read-along session was a great opportunity to practice their argumentation and analyzing skills, improve English language and comprehension, and grow their vocabulary!

List of books we will be reading:
- The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
- A Bird in the House by Margaret Laurence
- More books TBD based on learner voting

I look forward to seeing you! :)

Hey y'all! My name is Mason and I am from Canada! I'm a university student studying International Studies, currently in the process of law school admissions and the LSAT. I am a journalist, musical theatre instructor, published author, movie binger, history fanatic, and politics lover. It is my goal to bring my passion for learning to the classroom and spread lots and lots of knowledge! In my classroom, you aren't just a learner, you are my engaged peer. Schoolhouse.World has been my home since 2021 and I can't wait to continue to do what I love --- teach.
