Students will learn in a collaborative and friendly environment where they will be encouraged to participate and ask questions. The class is designed to be interactive and learner-focused, with course material that requires engagement and participation.
I create a compassionate and positive classroom environment and  believe that every child has the potential to contribute to the classroom. I also encourage a culture of peer learning.
I start class on the dot; hence, to get the most from this class, please be punctual.
Each class is a stand alone; you may join and drop out of the class any day, as per your convenience.

Activities covered each week -
 1) 6 words and their meanings for Grade 4 to Grade 7 students. (A word or two may be difficult; however, I will do my best for each child to understand the application of each word).
2) Their antonyms (if any).
3) Usage in a sentence (each word).
4)Fill in the blanks.
5) Write their own sentences and read aloud in class.

Children should bring a notebook or loose leaf/foolscap papers to write on, along with a sharpened pencil/pen.

General Notes:
If you do not find an available section at your convenient time and date, please check again later. I add classes every week and you will find one that suits you. Please check that you are signing up for the correct local  date and time. I do not do make up classes.

Refund / Transfer policy:

As per Outschool policy, there will be no refund/rescheduling for missed classes. I will be happy to transfer/ reschedule the student if intimated at least 24 hours in advance, as I might not be able to fill the vacant spot on a shorter notice. This would translate to one student claiming 2 spots.
