I will be teaching math, using the four basic concepts, 1) addition 2) subtraction 3)multiplication 4) division. But the main purpose is showing a trick that is involved, which will help in solving the problem. I will start with going around greeting each student, and briefly getting their thoughts on math. I will encourage open participation. I will begin by putting a sample problem, and then solve it, at the same time showing the trick involved to solve the problem. It is very important that the student engages, and tries to be proactive. The more the student actually tries to take the initiative, the easier the class will become. Week 1 (September 17/19 2024) Intro/ pre-test day Trick 1 Multiplying and Dividing with Zeroes, Trick 2 Multiplying and dividing with Decimal points Week 2 (September 24/26 2024) Trick 3 Rapidly Multiply by 4, Trick 4 Rapidly Divide by 4 Week 3 (October 1/3 2024) Trick 5 Rapidly Multiply by 5, Trick 6 Rapidly Divide by 5 Week 4 (October 8/10 2024) Trick 7 Rapidly Square Any Number Ending in 5, Trick 8 Rapidly Multiply Any Two Digit Number by 11
Learning Goals
Students will have a clear understanding of the four basic concepts, and develop a level of comfort. This will take the fear out of math, and help them not only with their studies, but some problems can be used throughout daily life.

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.
