My classes will include slides to introduce concepts. However, my private classes are discussion based, so learners have a lot of opportunities for participation. I find that students understand concepts best when they're given the opportunity to participate in class, contribute and ask questions. We'll relate examples to student's lives, experiences and potential future careers.  If a student feels more comfortable leaving their camera off, they are able to do that (once I visually verify them, per Outschool's policy).  See the teacher experience section for my background.

After each class, I provide a summary to parents of what we went over in class.

I am an American teacher, but students from all countries are welcome and often attend.  I try to use examples that reflect the students that are in the current class.
