Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Intermediate - Advanced Level
In this on going group course, the teacher will be leading the student to better their conversational and reading comprehension skills.  We will discuss a variety of topics about the students day or what they enjoy doing. The topics will be endless, as each student is different and has different interests.  The teacher will also have the student review reading comprehension skills, encourage explanations, review grammar concepts, and prompt the student to discuss what they have read. Since this is a self-paced course, each lesson experience may be different for each student. 

For example the first several weeks could look like these topics:

Week of October 15 : Animals
Week of October 22 : International Space Station
Week of October 29 : Space
Week of November 5: Kindness
Week of November 12: Wonders of Winter
Week of November 19: Holidays
Week of November 26: Spring

AND so much more.

Also, some session topics or lessons can or will be learner-directed weekly.

The teacher will use a variety of online resources and will use the chat box in the classroom to help the student make more concise answers and sentences. The student can continue to take this course to help promote conversational skills.  Please contact the teacher before booking a class to inform them of the students English speaking level.

Teacher Rules:
Students should make sure you they are paying attention to the teacher and repeating the teacher when possible. Make sure there are no distractions. Please do not wear hats or distracting clothing in class, as this can not only be distracting to the teacher, but also other students. Make sure that students remain polite and do not use foul language or chew gum in class.
Learning Goals

Vacation-December 21 to January 2 . There will be no classes and I will not be answering emails at this time. I'll be returning back to normal classes on January 3. Have a great holiday and Happy New Year!

My name is Gabby and I love to share my passions with others  I enjoy teaching children from ages 5-13. I enjoy teaching a variety of topics from English phonics/reading skills to arts and crafts. You may even be able to learn some makeup and beauty techniques.

I have strong  teaching skills to help beginner to intermediate learners from ages 6-13 learn anything they desire. I have a total of 8 years experience in the teaching field with children and young adults. I’ve done long distance tutoring under a student-study program in college (Business, marketing courses) for 3 years. I'm a former VIPKID teacher and I’ve taught ESL online with Chinese students from ages 4-15 for 5 years. Additionally. I possess a 120-hour TESOL certification.  I also have done free conversational courses with adults. Furthermore, I am a certified beautician and like to teach others about nail art and makeup tutorials. As well, I'm a certified crochet teacher. I have been crocheting and knitting for the past 7 years and enjoy teaching and showing others this dying art.  I hope to see you in one of my classrooms very soon.

CLASSROOM RULES  


•	CLASSROOM EQUIPMENT EXPECTATIONS :  Students should arrive 5 minutes prior to class for audio and video checks. Make sure that all equipment is working properly. If you are having problems or running late, please notify the teacher about the issues via the Outschool messaging system.  According to the Outschool policy, if your learner has not joined the meeting 10 minutes after the class’s start time, the meeting may be cancelled, at the teacher’s discretion. This is considered a missed meeting and you are not entitled to a refund. After introductions and class welcome time, students should keep microphones muted in order to reduce background noise. Students should be familiar with muting/unmuting if they choose to participate in class discussion, and parents of younger learners should be nearby if the younger learner cannot manage the mute button.

•	LATE OR MISSED CLASSES/Refunds:  Please notify the teacher via Outschool messaging system, if you will be late or unable to attend the class within 24 hours before start time. The teacher will discuss option for make up time or refunds (depending on course). The teacher generally follows a prorated refund system in alignment with the Outschool refund policies (Please refer to https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/16379-outschool-s-happiness-guarantee-and-refunds for more information).

•	CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT & STUDENT BEHAVIOR:  Parents are welcome to attend class, as a support for the student. However, make sure that parent is not visible in the webcam, as it can be distracting to other in the class.  Please refrain from eating or drinking (unless it is water), in class, as this can also be disruptive to the other students and teacher. Make sure the students dress appropriately (t-shirt, pants, No Hats please, unless for Halloween or specified) for class. Depending on lesson theme, the teacher may encourage students to dress in costume, but please do not have any face coverings. Please pay attention these announcements in the course discussion boards. Don’t not use foul language or discriminate against anyone in the classroom. This is intolerable behavior. If the students’ behavior is inappropriate, they will be removed from the course.
