If the currently listed section times do not suit you, please contact me to arrange a more suitable time, pending availability. 

The reasoning behind a 4-day week in this course as opposed to a 5-day week is that it allows learners to cover the main core subjects required here, and the 5th school day in the week is available for homework, assignments, experiments, projects, field trips, sports, and to engage in other courses that cover subjects such as Music, Art, Health & Physical Education, Design & Technology, and LOTE, to name just a few. This schedule ensures a balanced week of work, rest, and play in my experience.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a native English speaker with a 150-hour TESOL qualification from Arizona State University, a 12-hour Certificate in "Foundations of Teaching for Learning: Curriculum" from The Commonwealth Education Trust, and post-graduate qualifications in Applied Linguistics from Monash University. 

I have been homeschooling my own children for 10 years so far (and counting!) which involves reporting to the Home Education Unit in Queensland, Australia. These reports require both curriculum and results reporting. I have successfully individualised the curriculum that I have used for each of my children in order to meet their individual needs, and this skill is transferrable to meeting the needs of all of my students. 

I have been successfully teaching these core subjects on Outschool as separate classes to many students, and now this course will be the result of the culmination of all of this knowledge and these skills. I have also been teaching these separate subjects in composite classes, meaning that there is a range of ages and abilities amongst my students in these classes, and this works in much the same way as homeschooling children of different ages does; the older and more capable students lead the way, which promotes leadership qualities, and as they are called on to explain concepts to the younger students, this repetition reinforces their own learning. The younger students rise to the challenge as they want to try some of the work that might be considered to be above their level, in addition to their own level of work, and this ensures that advanced younger learners are not bored and disengaged. 

This "family" approach to my classroom works in both my home and here on Outschool. As my own children are usually in my classes, this family approach is both figurative and literal. 

I am also a lawyer in Australia, therefore speaking and teaching clearly have been a part of my life for many years, and now I am also applying these skills to teaching others.

We have always homeschooled and participated in distance education. We came to Outschool in 2018 as learners, and now I am excited to also teach on this platform. I understand the needs of parents of learners here as I am one myself.
