Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Advanced Level
In this class I will break this down to four segments:

1) Why do you want to work here?

In this segment, this is a question that is usually brought up after going over Educational History, and Work Experience.  When one is asked this question, they really need to give it some thought, and cannot simply say, "Well I need a Job.", or "I want to make money." They need to respond what do they know about this company, and how they can be an asset to the company. The interviewer then may respond asking for more detail, on how hiring them will benefit the company. This is very important, because the person being interviewed needs to go into some detail on what makes them different from the other candidates. What does he/she have that the other candidates do not have.

2) Strengths and weaknesses 

This is one that is asked in a lot of interviews, and so it important that the student thinks what is a strength they possess, and how will this help with the overall atmosphere of the workplace. When it comes to weaknesses we all have some, and you need to answer this in a way where you will not jeopardize your chances. But more importantly, how are you trying to change this weakness into a strength.

3) Goals  Where do you see yourself in two years...five years?

These questions are also one that are asked frequently in job interviews, and although I personally do not like these questions, there is a reason why the company asks them. They do it on order to determine will this candidate be around for a significant amount of time. I will go into detail, of what to say, but more importantly what not to say.

4) What to ask the interviewer

The final segment goes into what to ask the interviewer. This is often overlooked by many, and it actually is very important. The reason for this is that even though the student is applying for the job, they too are interviewing the potential employer. I will go into what questions that needs to be asked such as:

1) "What is it about this place that you like? ( referring to the interviewer ), describe the atmosphere." This is crucial, because it is the atmosphere of the company that will get people to stay.

2) "If you choose to hire me, what would expect from me on my first day?" This goes into more detail, so the student can find out if this is the right place for them.

3) "Is there a chance for upward mobility ( moving up in the company )?" The immediate answer will most likely be yes, but it is important for the student to find out how this can be achieved.

4) "What are the next steps?" This final question is actually optional, and should only be asked if the student is interested in the job.

These questions should give the student an idea if this is the right place for them. I will also go into what not to ask the interviewer, so one can avoid the risk of jeopardizing their chances of being hired.

Learning Goals

The goal of this class is simply to prepare the student on what to expect during a job interview, and how to respond to specific questions When it comes to interviews this can be very intimidating for some. So, I will do what I can to make it easier.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello to all,

I am online teacher, who has been teaching online since 2018. My experience has been teaching English to students living in their home countries. I would like to take my experience to the Outschool format, where not only would I assist in language learning, but a number of other topics. This would include the following:

1) Practical Math, or making math fun.
 
This would involve using math problems that are not only fun, but can be used in everyday life. The overall purpose of this class is to take the fear out of math.

2) Superhero Math

I love comics, and of course many of those happen to be superheroes, so this course would be classes that would be connected to superheroes. It is simply another way to make math interesting for the student.

3) The science of Superheroes

Learn about the science of your favorite superheroes. What is the science behind some of your favorite superheroes, and how science is applied in their character.

4) The science of Super Villains

For those who are drawn to the dark side, this class is for you. Learn about the scientific background of some of your favorite villains. I take no responsibility if after this class, you decide to take over the world.

5) Gothic Literature

Gothic Literature is some of the most popular literature ever written. In this class I want to focus on what makes literature earn the Gothic Label, focusing on writers such as Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, and Edgar Allan Poe.

6) Storytelling How to tell a good story

Storytelling is one thing that is common in all cultures, and it has grown throughout the years. But what makes a good story, and how do you tell it in a way, that not only grabs the attention of the audience, but also maintains it.


The values behind my teaching style is simply to make learning fun, and have people look at learning through a different perspective. I feel that as a teacher communication is important, so I try to talk with the student, and not at them, and I feel I can learn something from them too.

A little something about me, I like being creative, and tapping into my artistic side. I am currently writing my first book, and I believe everyone has a story to tell. I am currently teaching myself digital modeling, and after many years have decided to return to photography, and illustration. I also consider myself a polyglot in training, where I am currently studying nineteen languages.
