Class experience

Intermediate - Advanced Level
I am a certified chemistry teacher (grades 7-12) with over two decades of teaching experience. I have 7 years of experience in the high school classroom and over five years of experience teaching online through Outschool. I have also done private tutoring at the high school and college level, taught freshman college chemistry recitations and labs, and worked in various science outreach settings including museums, middle school after school science programs, and science summer camps. From these experiences, I have worked with a lot of different types of learners at various stages of interest, ability, and motivation- from preschoolers wide-eyed at everything in science to high school students simply taking the class as a requirement to college freshmen chemistry majors passionate about the course with never ending questions. I can tailor my teaching style to fit the learner, and I do what I can to make it approachable by anyone.
Homework Offered
Students will have activities to complete each week to reinforce course content. Activities will include a hands-on activity and optional questions about that week's topic to reinforce the concepts learned and help continue the learning throughout the week. I include an answer key for the homework in the handouts so students can self-check or check their answers with an adult. They are also welcome to message me their answers for feedback.
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
If you are interested in weekly assessments that you can do at home then submit to me for a grade, please contact me within the first week of class. These are optional.
Grades Offered
If you are interested in receiving a grade or certificate of completion for this course, please let me know in advance.
This class is specifically designed for advanced learners who are ready to dive deeper into chemistry topics beyond just the basics of the elements- but aren't quite to the level of a high school chemistry class yet. 
One week prior to the start of the course I will provide a pdf of all class activities (over 90 pages- assignments, and note-taking sheets) in pdf format if requested and paid in full. I provide this as an option because I know that some families like printing out an entire class at once. The supplies required for hands-on activities will be provided prior to the course starting- but estimated cost for supplies assuming you have none of them already is approximately $15 for the entire course. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will have hands-on activities to complete at home each week- some of these may require parent supervision/assistance- depending on your level of comfort. The only chemicals that will be used will be things that are commonly found in the kitchen- baking soda, vinegar, soap, salt, and other similar compounds. A full supply list will be available 2 weeks prior to class beginning.

There will be videos provided for the at-home activity for some weeks- these will be unlisted YouTube videos and no account registration is required to view them. They will be embedded in the classroom.
