MY GOAL was to create a space shed young girls could explore books in a way that was personal, fun, and engaging, a place where reading wasn't just about turning pages but about living a story. The idea was to integrate hobbies, activities, and creative experiences into traditional book club formats, making each club a unique adventure that felt like a personal journey. But we go one step further. We encorporate growth mindset so our girls become strong successful people. THE BOOK BABE CLUBS were deficient designed around themes, where each club would focus on a hobby or interest ( nails, makeup, sewing, crocheting, horses, etc.) Alongside the book. This allowed the girls to connect deeper with themes of the book they read, expanding beyond just reading to real-world, hands-on activities and creative expression. These clubs empoweryoung readers to not only dive deep into the world of thier favorite books, but also explore new hobbies, develop new skills, and express themselves in creative, hands-on ways. WELCOME TO the captivating and empowering Pippin Polished Perfection, Book Babe Book Nail Salon where we will read pippi longstocking and learn all about nails from how to care for them to applying kiss acrylics, to different paint techniques and more. If you love reading and doing your n nails, you will love this club. THIS CLUB IS STRUCTURED like a bookclub. Students will be given a reading assignment and a video to watch. We will meet during class time to discuss major points that we have learned. Students will have the opportunity to apply new skills inside this meeting or outside of class, in real life ( if you chose). Students will make new connections with other students who have similar interest. I AM VERY INTERACTIVE in my teaching and discussion. Students will have the opportunity to talk with me anytime throughout the course or after in the message. My office hours are monday- Thursday and I will get back to you quickly.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of North Carolina Pembroke
I have a degree in Education and experience teaching elementary and middle school students. My classes are centered around English Language Arts and I have experience teaching ESL students. I am Tosel and TEFL certified.
Hello, I am Velvet Mumma ( pronounced Mum- ah)
ABOUT ME: As a teacher I believe that we should provide students with the skills and opportunity to learn and grow. I think that students are more apt to care what you know, when they know that you care and I hope that I live that philosophy out in my classroom. I am excited about teaching and passionate to guide students learning.
Personally, I absolutely love reading. There is a book by Dr Suess that really does so much more than entertain. It is called " Oh, the Places You Will Go." This book truly sets people of all ages up for success! While there are many quotes I could pull from this fabulous writing, my favorite is “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.” - This quote emphasizes the idea of self-direction and the ability to choose your own path. I hope my guidance leads others to develop the confidence to choose the right path for them.
WHAT MAKES ME QUALIFIED: I am an experienced teacher in the classroom setting. I have experience online as well. I started teaching virtually with my local school district about 4 years ago, in the Southern USA. Now, I'm teaching virtually on outschool, to students all over the world.
I currently teach middle school classes as well as upper elementary classes. My classes are centered on English Language Arts and ESL. I teach ELA Homeschool, Writing, Grammar, Spelling, Reading, Speaking, Vocabulary, Poetry, Literature, English as a Second Language, and more.
I have multiple degrees in Education. I am completing my certification as a registered IEW Writing Instructor. I am also certified in TOSEL and TEFL as an ESL Instructor. As you can probably see, Im a firm believer in continued education practices.
I have been doing nails for over 3 decades. I have worked with acrylic, gel, sticker, polish and more.
