Fairies or the little people, are found in stories all over the world! In this class we will be exploring all things fairies, especially stories! In this class we will discuss and learn: - Are fairies real? - What are you favourite things about fairies. - Learn about Sprites, Azizas, Peri Fairies, Menehune, Yumboes, Yaksha and the Asrai (different types of fairies from all around the world). - A Fairy Story from Ireland + culture and geography of Ireland - A Fairy Story from China + culture and geography of China My teaching style is fun and information packed. I like to get students to develop their own critical thinking skills as much as possible, and will ask them questions such as 'Are fairies real?', and allow them to come to their own conclusions. There is a lot of space from learner interaction, I always ask students wether they have any comments or questions, on our stories, or anything else we are learning! The tools are will use to teach this class are Google Slides, with some Music and Dancing from Youtube! No prior experience necessary!

Growing up in the UK as a minority, I have always studied the non-mainstream perspectives where-ever I could, meaning in all my degree subjects (Philosophy, History & Psychology), I have thoroughly studied different cultural perspectives, and when teaching ensure all my sources are directly from the culture in question.
I have tutored and home schooled in my degree subjects for ages 4-11, taught in schools in my native country the Gambia, and nannies a (ages 0-11). Often questions around cultural differences or equality issues have come up and I am able to handle them softly, while ensuring the student leaves with the knowledge that equality is important for us all!
I am well-traveled, and love to explore new perspectives in my personal life!Reviews
