Class Experience

Firstly, students will learn about the history and why we celebrate Mother's Day, this is shown through a Powerpoint Presentation.
Next students will be shown how to create a card by folding a piece of paper in half. 
Children will be instructed to open their card and write a message on the inside of the card. I will model a message for the children by writing in the chat box or in a text box on the whiteboard. Depending on the age and ability of the child there may be a chance to write a more detailed message explaining reasons why they are thankful and love their mum/mother figure. Older children and those with more advanced learning knowledge may have the opportunity to write a poem as the message.
After writing their message children will have the chance to draw pictures on the front of their card. I will model drawing different related Mother's Day images, such as mum and child, hearts and flowers, which children may copy or draw their own picture. 
Finally children will share their card with the other students, saying what they like about it.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I am a qualified teacher of nearly 6 years, with a specialism in teaching Early Years (3-7 year olds), I also have a Masters in Education. Prior to becoming a teacher I was a paediatric nurse for 4 years. I gained my qualifications in England and taught in a primary school for 2 years, before emigrating to Australia in 2017. I now work as a classroom teacher in Australian primary schools. My teaching qualification entitles me to teach up to the age of 18 and I have experience of teaching many high school children through my own successful tutoring business outside of Outschool. As a result of my specialist tutoring all of these children's grades have increased. I love tutoring and it would be my dream to do this full time. Many of my tutoring students come to me for specialist writing support as I am an examination marker for NAPLAN, which is an Australian exam. 

I want to make learning fun and exciting for children, my aim is to provide them with enjoyment when learning a new concept. I am a patient teacher and enthusiastic in my approach, yet I also have an excellent knowledge of how to get good results. 

The type of classes I enjoy teaching are craft classes for younger primary school children, writing and maths classes for primary and high school students, but my particular passion is individual tutoring, as I love seeing the progress children make.
