Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
Biology/ Science & Conversational English -  CEFR B1/ B2/ C1 / C2 Great for gifted learners curious about science! 

This class allows students to improve their English speaking skills while learning about their favorite topics. Students can choose the subjects they want to explore, and parents can suggest areas where their child needs additional support. I will work with your family to design a customized learning experience that your child will find interesting. I will provide interesting facts and stories to keep them engaged and curious. 

In Favorite Things class, we'll start with introductions and sharing. Then we'll move on to slides related to the chosen topic. Throughout the class, there will be discussions in which your student is welcome to share what they already know and ask questions.

The class will be tailored to suit students who are new to speaking English. The focus will be mainly on using target sentences while discussing pictures or reading information in class. The level of the class will be adjusted based on the students' evaluation results and their reading practice. The teacher will be available to guide the students in answering questions when needed.

After enrolling, students will be able to choose their area of interest for the lessons. They can pick topics like animals, plants, or dinosaurs, or focus on a favorite hobby. Based on this choice, I will plan lesson material. This is an excellent chance for the student to converse in English while exploring their interests. They can change their interest topics at any time.

I look forward to seeing your student in the classroom soon!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Biology/Biological Sciences from State University of New York College at Brockport
Associate's Degree from Salvation Army School for Officer Training
For the past 6 years I have been teaching online, and for the past 2 years I have been offering private lessons tailored to student interests. I like teaching ESL lessons for several reasons. Firstly, I get to meet learners from different parts of the world and learn about their cultures. Secondly, I find it challenging and interesting to incorporate learner interests into the lessons. This not only helps in making the class more engaging but also encourages learners to speak more.

I have taught in-person Biology labs that frequently used microscopes and slides made in lab. Incorporating technology allows students to aim to support your student in building confidence and practical skills through guidance in their studies. Although books have their uses, nothing compares to the benefits of hands-on learning and witnessing the marvels of Biology. My love for Biology stems from its deceptive simplicity, which upon deeper examination reveals a truly astounding complexity.

My area of study is Biology, and I hold a Bachelor of Science degree where I learned about mammalogy, ornithology, ecology, marine biology, microbiology, histology, and aquatic invertebrates. In my co-op lab classes, I gained hands-on experience with microscopes and learned how to create slides rather than just viewing prepared ones. I am now providing microscope classes through Outschool, where students are encouraged to use their compound or digital microscopes during open lab time. I utilize digital cameras to share my own microscope view,  as well as encourage students' to share their microscope view. While I value traditional lab techniques, I also believe that technology can enhance the lab experience when appropriate. see more clearly what they are looking for and share what they are seeing, allowing for an enhanced lab experience.

Personally I am an ever curious Biologist - I've studies mammalogy, marine biology, ornithology, microbiology, and more. In my classroom I encourage my students to explore and follow there curiosity, ask questions and find answers. I enjoy incorporating traditional learning with technology, helping students gain a deeper understanding material in practical ways.
