Our mission is to provide a stimulating environment that supports lifelong learning. We believe that every student can achieve clear and focused learning objectives, regardless of their preferred learning style. That's why we implement a variety of methods in our classes to aid visual, auditory, reading/writing, and kinaesthetic learning.

We strive to create an interactive and engaging learning experience, where students can learn with real-world purpose, through discussion and reflection. At the same time, we believe in nurturing their individual interests and allowing them to take control of their own learning experience by encouraging autonomy and self-discovery.

We're passionate about seeing each student develop their talents and gifts through exploration, and we're committed to creating a supportive learning community that will help them achieve their full potential.

✨Live Class Expectations ✨

We want to do everything we can to make sure this is a positive learning experience for your learner. We message all newly enrolled learners with further details about the classes along with the expectations. All learners are encouraged to share any details they’d like me to know about them beforehand. 

🔹Activities 
It’s highly recommended that learners have the activities prepared for each class. We believe learners will get more out of the classes by being prepared for them. We use a range of activities in each class to explore the objectives of the class and reinforce what is learnt. The activities are also one of the ways we can check learning is taking place in each class.  They are posted in the classroom by the end of Sunday each week. 

🔹 Class Times
Each class has a set start and end time. Classes will start on time and finish on time so please make sure your learner is in class and ready to go!

🔹 Mute/Unmute Function
We follow Outschool’s policy to use the mute/unmute function to make each class a better experience.

🔹Annotate
We may sometimes use the Annotate function in Zoom too. It would be great if learners are aware of this. 

🔹Staying on camera
Please can you encourage your learner to stay on the camera during the class. It really helps us to both engage with them and also gauge how they are doing. We also want to make sure your learner is safe, especially if they take the class independently. 

🔹Technical Issues
Please test out Zoom before class and be sure your learner can use the mute/unmute function. We like to be fully present with my learners in class and as a result, we will not be able to respond to messages whilst teaching. For technical support, please contact Outschool.

🔹Refunds
Regarding refunds, we follow Outschool’s policy. A full refund within 24 hours of purchase or up to a week in advance of the class. Please ensure the time is AM or PM when signing up.

🔹Transfer requests 
Transfers will be actioned up to 24 hours before each class. Please note some classes are on different schedules. Details of this can be found in class descriptions. For refunds, please contact Outschool Support. 

🔹Recordings
Recordings of classes are shared in the classroom.

🔹Class Cancellations  
If a class has not met the minimum number of enrolments, it is subject to being canceled. We will send a message asking if you'd like a transfer to another date & time or full refund if the class is canceled.

✨Flex Class Expectations ✨

🔹Activities 
It’s highly recommended that learners have the activities prepared each week before they watch the recorded teaching video. I believe learners will get more out of the course by being prepared. We use a range of activities each week to explore the objectives and reinforce what is learnt. The activities are also one of the ways I can check learning is taking place in each week.  They are posted in the classroom by the end of Monday each week. 

🔹 Class Times
Please note, there are no live meetings for flex classes. Teaching videos are shorter than the live class equivalent due to no students being there for interaction. Flex classes include a range of activities to go along with the teaching video. These will be posted in the classroom at the start of each week. 

Please don’t hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions.  I’m looking forward to meeting you and providing unique learning opportunities.
