Do you love drawing, coloring and chatting? Then this class is a great way to share your interests and get involved in group activities and fun! You will be given the opportunity to participate in coloring, craft and drawing activities as we chat about our week. Don’t worry if the conversation doesn’t flow at first as I am on hand to lead and support the chat with lots of ideas and subjects to talk about! Each session will have a 5-minute quiet time where we will color or craft whilst listening to a selected piece of music or short story – you might find that the music inspires your next coloring project! Sessions are intended to be calm and relaxed and I hope you leave each session happy and de-stressed. Everyone in the group will have the opportunity to speak if they feel comfortable, and participate in short warm up games and quizzes. I will regularly check in with learners who just want to color and listen. You are welcome to bring your own coloring projects to the group – we would love to see what everyone is working on! Chat is sensitive and guided when appropriate. Although this is a weekly class there is no obligation to attend every session. Please do let me know a little more about yourself in the classroom – I can then tailor the class a little more to make sure everyone is fully engaged!
Learning Goals
This class provide opportunities for learners to take part in creative projects and activities that stretch their imagination. The class will help to increase independence as they make friends and become interested in external events and experiences. The class allow opportunities for learners to express themselves by sharing their ideas and projects through group discussions. The class aims to balance group and solitary 'play' activities by providing opportunities and choice.
This class is underpinned by positive reinforcement and encouragement.

I am a qualified teacher in the UK with over 25 years’ experience, delivering high quality learning content in schools and for online providers. I have extensive experience teaching IT and Digital Technology classes and I love to teach Earth Sciences, History, English, Art, and Craft classes too. My personal passions for Digital Art and Graphic Design also feature in my choice of classes. I currently enjoy tutoring students in many different countries, and I am excited to share my skills as part of this online learning community.
My classes are intended to be engaging and fun and I passionately believe that online learning can support and enhance the existing school and home ed curriculum. I use a range of digital tools and online services in my classes to enhance the learning experience.
I am a patient teacher and encourage all to fully participate in their learning. Every class aims for a 'can do' environment with students positively challenged throughout each session. Mistakes are embraced and rewarded by self-improvement and a growth in confidence. I have experience of teaching children with a range of differing needs, and aim to make all lessons as inclusive as they can be.
I am a Mum to 2 children, (12 and 14). We enjoy digital technology, reading, long walks, and playing music together!
I am happy to offer private tutor sessions by request.
