Assessments are offered for those completing the class as an elective, and are not required for all students. Each assessment will be a take home assignment that will quiz on different kitchen skills, safety measures and ingredients discussed in class. For students taking the class as an elective, assessments will be given prior to receiving their certificate of completion.Grading
Grades and a certificate of completion are available to those students taking this class as an elective, but will not be given out unless a student/parent requests it. Receiving a grade or certificate in the class will require students to post a photo of their completed meal, as well as complete a final quiz at the end of their chosen term. If you would like to receive grades or a certificate of completion for your learner, please send a message as soon as possible.Class Experience
Beginner - Intermediate Level
Fostering independence is an important skill as children grow older. This includes teaching teens to cook for themselves. At least to ensure that college does not become a bag of ramen nightly nor a takeout central. Each week, we will go through basic cooking skills as we prepare easy meals for teens. This class is highly interactive and very hands on. We will work together, with frequent check ins, to create delicious meals together. Recipe cards will be available the Friday prior to class (being posted between 7-8pm Mountain time) to ensure that all necessities are ready for our class. You are welcome to print out the cards so that students can have a stack of recipes to have available whenever they so need. This class is all-inclusive and is designed to help learners with anxiety, Dyslexia, ADHD, ADD and ASD achieve their goals. Our classroom is a quiet, positive, low pressure area where students can engage as much as they'd like. Cameras and/ or mics are only asked to be on during our 'check in' sections, where learners will give a quick update on their progress to ensure no one is feeling left behind. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone should feel comfortable and confident in the kitchen. What’s on the Menu? Please find your class day.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in English from Southern New Hampshire University
Hi there! I’m Tabitha Rivera and I am happy to meet you. A little about my background, I have a degree in English and Creative Writing and have been an online teacher for 6 years now. I also have 18 years teaching experience in a classroom setting in daycare, tutoring and homeschooling. I love learning and believe that everyone should have something fun to learn and grow with. I enjoy fostering in a student’s learning by providing thought-provoking out-of-the-box lessons that keep my learners asking questions and thinking long after the lesson is over. I also believe that learning should be fun! My classes provide hands on lessons that get my students moving and learning in new environments. My favorite part of teaching is answering my student’s questions and seeing them make new discoveries while following their passions.
I currently live in New Mexico with my daughter and 2 dogs. In my free time I enjoy working on writing my book, reading, traveling, cooking and baking. I also love to learn new languages and about every culture. I currently can speak 6 languages and look forward to adding more to my collection.
I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom! Thanks for stopping by!Reviews
