πŸ’¬"This course is well-structured and to the point. In-class activities are well-designed and fun for the learners. The instructor does a great job covering so much information in 30 minutes. My learner is engaged all the time!"

πŸ’¬"Ms. Sara's ELA class is excellent! I signed my daughter up for the class so that she can expand her vocabulary and continue to grow in ELA over the summer, and the class has been a great fit. Despite the class starting at 8 am in the morning during summer break, my daughter said after the first class, "That was fun!"

Each lesson is conducted using Nearpod. Nearpod is a digital tool that uses slide-based learning resources that are interactive for students to engage with and learn from. Each learner will access their own set of Nearpod slides to participate in the lesson by completing fill in the blank questions, matching activities, multiple choice questions, drawing tasks, responding to open ended prompts and quiz games. Nearpod can also use gamification of information to make learning more engaging and fun.
