Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
Beginner Level
This is an ongoing interactive storytelling game, very good for beginners and those who want to practice being creative! 

The Caravan Campaign is a home-brew game I have been running for several years now, so the secondary characters (NPCs) and world are fairly well established. It's very adaptable and good for new and low-level characters.  We will meet every week for a couple hours and explore the world of Kern while travelling with a trading caravan. The players will solve puzzles, fight monsters, and make decisions that affect the story. 

No previous experience is necessary, though of course teamwork and good communication skills are a great place to start. Dungeons & Dragons can be intimidating at first, but I don't expect you to have all the books or know all the rules. My style is very casual, flexible, and creative. The ultimate goal of this game is to have fun!
Learning Goals
This is a great way to build friendships and learn to work together for a common goal. It's also a very creative process which involves imagination and character-building in a fantasy world!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
We'll probably fight some dragons/monsters, but no offensive violence or rude topics. Just wholesome adventures and lots of treasure!
Supply List
A short summary of the world will be posted so that everyone can start with the same information. Other than that, dice (physical or virtual) and a character sheet are necessary (and the internet has them for free!).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Who's this lady? It's Miss Charlie (she/her)! An experienced private tutor who's here to provide stress-free education. Areas of knowledge include: 

Arts! Crafts! 
Music! Maths! 
Words! Writing! 
Video games! 
Film! D&D! Cats! 
Social studies! Critical thinking! 
Sciences! Philosophy! 
World Religions! 
Brazil! Canada! 
Food! 
...and many more!

On a serious note, my philosophy of teaching is based on the personal belief that any subject can be exciting, given a good teacher. I strive to encourage curiousity and love of learning in all my students, and I hope that by guiding young minds to achieve greatness, the next generation will be kinder, wiser, and happier. 

Also, I am an advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and a member of the aforementioned community, so if that bothers you, I would respectfully suggest choosing a different teacher. ^_^b  

I have twelve years of ESL tutoring experience (adults and children), as well as one-on-one tutoring with young people and kids with special needs (core curriculum). I have a B.A. in English and many years as an editor for university-level publications.

I'm an educator by nature, and my main goal is to make learning fun (while making sure the facts are accurately presented). My main resource is flexibility; everyone learns differently, and sometimes all it takes is a little extra time and effort for things to click. One-on-one tutoring is my favourite form of teaching, so please let me know if there's anything I can do for you!

P.S. Although I currently have turned off auto-scheduling, if you have any requests for a class, please don't hesitate to reach out! I will try to accommodate every request. Thanks! :)
