Are you ready to be a successful learner? Do you know what that requires from you? This class, designed for middle and high school students, gives practical tips, tools and strategies to be a successful listener, note-taker, reader, writer and speaker. The class discusses memorization tips, writing strategies, organizational techniques and much more! The expectations in middle and high school change academically - will you be ready? This one time class is designed as a pre-cursor to the Middle School Study Skills class. Though the course is not a pre-requisite to take before the study skills course, it does give the student many opportunities to think about and be praperd to be a successsful student. This class is run using a slide-show and a Socratic seminar style discussion with some lecture. It is an interactive class and helps students understand what it will take for them to be successful in and out of school.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! I'm Shaheen and I look forward to meeting you all virtually. I've been teaching language arts and the humanities for over 25 years in public, private and charter schools to elementary, middle and high school students. I also homeschool my own four children, and I am an education consultant for other homeschooling families. My expertise is in teaching the humanities and literature classes for middle and high school aged kids. I offer classes in the Socratic Seminar style for kids as young as 4th graders. Holding an M.S. in Education and a certification in teaching ESL, I am happy to bring the love of learning to your kids.
My goals, with teaching students, are to make them life long learners and passionate about education. I enjoy teaching poetry, literature, logic and the classics and I hope to pass this love of language on to my students!
