Class Experience

Hi there, neighbor! I can’t wait to see you, friends! In this class we’ll learn 4 different locations in our neighborhood and how to draw them using basic shapes. We’ll draw each location on map we draw of the neighborhood. As the teacher, I’ll make this class fun and engaging by singing, clapping and drawing along with my students! I love to have fun by making class engaging and interactive through playful learning! At the end of class, each student will have the opportunity to share their favorite (time permitting).

2. Hospital
3. School

As a recommendation prior to taking this class, please make sure your child knows how to draw the following shapes: 
Circle
Triangle
Square
Rectangle
Oval 
Half Circle 
*I will walk through each drawing step as we create each picture, but find it best if learners are comfortable drawing these shapes prior to attending class so they don’t feel behind.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello friends! My name is Melissa and I live in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Virtual learning isn’t just convenient, it should be tons of FUN!  My passion is to create lifelong learners that embrace curiosity and knowledge. My classroom environment is positive, interactive and allows for discussion and the ability to dive deeper into our topics. 

I am a certified online ESL educator. I have a B.S. degree in Graphic Design from Full Sail University and hold an ESOL endorsement. I taught special education (grades 2-12) and ESOL (all grades). I have 6 years of experience teaching online - always striving to create the most engaging and fun learning environment for my student! 

I offer a variety of classes in many different subjects for many different ages. I specialize in teaching drawing and English to students from all over the world! I can help students learn basic conversational English, phonics, and vocabulary. I also offer life skills courses and state history and exploration courses. 

I have a passion for using props to really help students stay engaged and understand concepts more clearly. I believe learning isn’t just about understanding in your mind, but also connecting the physical / real world application. I also think social emotional learning is just as important as knowing your ABC's. 

Traveling is my favorite hobby! Hawaii is “home” in my heart and I love all things beach. I have a deep understanding of the history and attractions of Hawaii. With over 27 years of experience traveling to the islands, I've become an expert on sharing it's history and traditions with students through my classes. Teaching virtually has allowed my to connect with students from all over the world and not only teach them, but I’ve learned quite a bit from them as well. 

Life is precious. Live. Learn. Laugh. 

Happy Learning friends!
