Words are powerful. Words convey meaning. Words are an important tool to communicate ideas and make conversations more effective. In this ongoing series of classes, we will meet once a week and discuss how one word can be used in at least 4 to 5 different ways. In each meeting we will cover 4 words and their multiple usages (at least 4). For example: Bar. I bought a bar of chocolate. He had a drink in a bar. You have raised the bar with your performance. I bar you from entering this room. He studied law and joined the bar association. Activities covered each week - 1) 4 words, their usages and their meanings for Grade 4 to Grade 7 students. (A word or two may be difficult; however, I will ensure the child has understood the application of each word). 2) Usage in a sentence (each word). 3)Fill in the blanks. 4) Write their own sentences and read aloud in class. Each child will speak/ write 15-16 sentences. If they do not finish the sentences in class, they may submit in the learner's tab, one on one, after the class. Children should bring a notebook or loose leaf/foolscap papers to write on, along with a sharpened pencil/pen. Class Duration - 30 minutes. Teacher and new student introduction - 2-3 minutes Introduction of the words - 2 minutes Explanation of the words-2 minutes Discussion/ answering questions - 20 minutes Recap of the class/ Questions/ Takeaway - 4-5 minutes (approximately). This is an ongoing class; I shall keep adding dates and words as time progresses. A one page handout will be sent the day before the class; if possible, please get a printout.

Week of 6/2/2024 - face, run, bridge, lace Week of 6/9/2024 - lace, dim, court, nerve Week of 6/16/2024- add, cover, fold, fix Week of 6/23/2024-bar, dot, fit, host Week of 6/30/24 - dim, dot, dense, close Week of 7/7/24 -expose, fill, fence, feature, grace Week of 7/14/24 -further, front, climb, fly Week of 7/21/24-fold, fly, graze, hook Week of 7/28/24-grave, home, interest, issue Week of 8/4/24-hot,hold, lock, light Week of 8/11/24-high, make, lift, matter Week of 8/18/24-market,mind, meet, line Week of 8/25/24-limit, keen, keep, horn To be Continued. Class duration - 30 minutes. I may go beyond by 5 minutes, if I feel the class needs extra support. Please let me know if your child needs to leave on time. I will accommodate transfer requests if made 24 hours in advance; last minute transfer requests may not be honored for various reasons. I do not teach make-up classes. I shall accommodate transfer requests once in 6 weeks, as long as I am notified 24 hours in advance. If I, as a teacher, have a scheduling conflict, I shall either contact you to reschedule for a different time or issue a refund. I share class recording on request; however, if there is an unverified learner who has not attended class, I will not share that class recording. I take my class safety very seriously, so does Outschool. Class Rule :This is an interactive class; hence, children are expected to keep their cameras turned on, at all times, during the class. If your child needs any special accommodation, or alternate seating arrangement, please let me know in advance, so that I can accommodate them and they can get the most benefit from the class. General Notes: If you do not find an available section at your convenient time and date, please let me know or 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. Thank you so much for enrolling your child in my class. 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.

Teacher expertise and credentials
For 5 years, I was a freelance content developer for India's largest coaching organization T.I.M.E. I developed content in word usage, sequential arrangement, logical reasoning for GMAT, TOEFL, CAT (India's most difficult exam to crack) and GRE, among a few others.
I have a Masters and a Post Graduate Diploma in Teaching English and I am passionate about word usage and love playing with words.
I am atd (Association for Talent Development) designated Master Trainer. I have 34 years of teaching/coaching/ training experience across continents. Teaching/coaching to me is about inspiring & delivering results that meet expectations.
I firmly believe that there is a lot of potential and a leader in every child and my mission is to help them realize their potential. The journey of teaching/training/coaching began decades ago as an entrepreneur with a Communications & Culture training organization focused on Corporate training as well as one on one learning. Over the years, it evolved into a training company that provided niche and result oriented training programs across India with focus on Leadership, Presentation Skills and Cross culture, as well as several behavioral training programs with some of the Global leading Corporates like Verizon Data Services, Dell, HSBC, Oracle, Progress Software and many more. I founded and spear-headed "Trainwell Consultants" for a decade; hence, I feel I should share my knowledge and expertise with the next generation of learners and leaders.
