🌟 Boost Confidence and Master Core Skills This class is designed to help teens strengthen foundational grammar skills in a way that builds their confidence. Each lesson focuses on a single area of grammar, making it easier for students to grasp concepts step by step. Designed for teens working at lower grade levels, I provide extra guidance and support to help build confidence and skills while exploring grammar and writing. ✨ Why Study Grammar? A solid grasp of grammar is essential for clear and effective writing. It gives students the tools they need to express their ideas with clarity, structure their thoughts logically, and make a powerful impact through their words. Building a vocabularly around grammar and writing develops our learners' ability to understand why a sentence does or does not make sense. 🛠 Skill Areas We Cover * Using commas more accurately * Word classes * Sentence structrues * Expanding punctuation knowledge * Conjunctions 💡 Interactive Learning with Real-time Support Participation is encouraged but never forced. Learners can engage through their microphone or chat box, ask questions, and engage in their own way. 🔍 Flexible Learning Opportunities Each lesson includes optional worksheets or online activities, so students can practice and reinforce what they’ve learned. This gives them the chance to deepen their understanding even outside of class. 📎This class will not be canceled for low-enrollment. I teach all classes, even if only 1 learner is enrolled. If your learner does not like to go ahead with 1-to-1 classes, please let me know.📎 Outschool requires that cameras are on for registration, but there are no requirements for learners to keep their cameras on. Learners can use a mic or the Zoom chat function to communicate with me. I also teach a self-paced prerecorded version of this class ----> https://outschool.com/classes/english-grammar-skills-for-teens-writing-with-confidence-level-1-BU0xsnja

👋 Hi there! I'm Ms. Riot, your certified and passionate educator with a flair for innovation and a heart for student growth. Hailing from London, England, I qualified as a teacher in 2007 with my Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) in Primary Education and certified with my Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Here in the UK, I am certified to teach from 5-18 years old.
🌏I have taught around the world, including at a not-for-profit summer camp in New York, volunteering in Kenya and India, and completing a teaching placement in Arizona.
🏫As a classroom teacher, I developed creative classrooms where students felt safe enough to fail. My passion for reading also allowed me to develop a new career as a high school librarian, supporting teens who had not discovered that a library could be a space for them. I have also taught students English up to the age of 16 at a prestigious online school.
🖼️More recently, I have worked within the learning department in a large museum, teaching at a range of online schools and designing curriculum for education resource companies. I also deliver lectures to trainee teachers, supporting them to develop their practice.
