**For $3 off your first week use the coupon code WOLFFBRAIN3 at checkout** Are you looking for a different way for your students to learn science? Then this is the class for them! This class is designed for students with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety and Neurodiverse Learners. By incorporating personal interests (characters/kid friendly topics) into each lesson, it will allow students to be engaged for the entire 30 minutes. I will also be providing numerous learning options so no matter what kind of learner students are, they will be able to grasp the material. If you child is a visual learner, we will have numerous PowerPoints, charts, graphs and diagrams so they can see all the information. If they are an auditory learner, I was always make sure to explain everything thoroughly so students. Even if your child is a kinesthetic learner, there will be time that we will be moving to practice our science skills. Most importantly this class is a no judgement zone. Every student will feel safe and able to be themselves in this class while they learn and have fun! Each week students will learn new science skills in a fun and exciting way! Join us as we do science lessons on important topics. Each week we will have a new lesson theme, and we will learn the science using popular characters that will make your child EXCITED TO LEARN! Our schedule of learning will be as follows: Week of Feb 12 - Pollution with Kirby Week of Feb 19 - Force with Star Wars Week of Feb 26 - Speed and Acceleration with Sonic Week of March 3 - Animal Science with Pokemon *We limit this small group class to 5 students to ensure that every child is getting individualized learning opportunities and feels comfortable and supported. We want our kids to feel like they are learning and growing in every class. Limiting the number of students allows time for everyone to ask questions, have discussions and be able to fully flex their educational muscles!*

Teacher expertise and credentials
New York Teaching Certificate in Health/PE
Throughout my almost 2 decades in education, I have worked with students from Preschool all the way up to college. After receiving my education degree from SUNY Brockport, I received my Masters' Degree in Educational Administration (School Building Leader and School District Leader) from Lehman College. I have spent over a decade working for NYC DOE and also spent two years working at Barnard College, the sister college of Columbia University.
My experiences with students in all of these age groups taught me one thing, over and over again -- one size fits none. You can't mass produce education, it only works well if it's individualized, and if lessons are taught in ways that excite, interest and engage each student. In 2012, I started a company focusing on unique and individual learning techniques. Our in-person classes taught a myriad of educational lessons through mediums that gripped my students -- we taught math concepts through movement games, language and writing skills through art, etc. During the coronavirus pandemic, I transitioned that same concept to my Outschool classes -- it's a platform that I love because it allows me to tap into kids' niche interests in an even more drilled down way than I could do in person. Now, whether my younger students are learning about a certain calculation technique via a Pokemon character, or my older ones are discussing their true passions as a way to figure out how to get into their dream colleges, I'm most satisfied with my work when I'm meeting kids right where they are. Seeing a child learn something new while he or she is showcasing expertise in a subject area of passion is a win for me and for the student. I learn from my students every day, and I'm thrilled when they feel like they've grown and gained in each class, too.Reviews
