Class Experience

Anger is an important emotion, just like every other emotion. Many times, it can be labelled as a "negative emotion". However, anger isn't positive or negative. Rather, the reaction to anger is what can cause positive or negative outcomes. Sometimes people scream and use their hands when they feel anger, while others hold it in and don't do anything about it. Both of these actions can be quite detrimental. Then what is the right thing to do when one feels angry? First of all, it is important to see the feeling of anger as a message and then practice regulating it and using your words to communicate your needs.  This is known as channeling anger to your benefit.  

In this class, we will learn about anger management through Miss Aasiyah's fun story called "Taming My Angry Monster". This story talks about how Jim is a 6-year-old boy who goes to school. He has great friends but sometimes due to some conflicts, his angry monster takes over, which causes a lot of problems for Jim. One day, Jim decides that he will suppress his anger and never let it out. This idea doesn't work out the way he wants it to. We will learn how Jim learns to befriend his angry monster and use it in a more adaptive way. Students will also learn anger management techniques that we will try as a class. Lastly, they will be provided with a few fun handouts at the end of class as a take-home activity. 

This class is perfect for students who may have trouble with anger management and students who struggle with expressing their emotions as my story will talk about both, consequences of emotions bursting out and the consequences of emotions being suppressed.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to label anger as well as learn how to control it through storytelling and in-class activities.

Teacher expertise and credentials

"Confidence comes from hours and weeks and years of constant work and dedication."- Robert Staubach 

A warm welcome to you! My name is Aasiyah (Aa-see-yah) and a short form for it is Siya (see-ya). I go by the gender pronoun of she/her.  I am a certified communication and confidence coach and I am beyond excited to share my expertise with you! 

I believe that the best education you can give a child is the education of building confidence, emotional intelligence and communication skills.  I believe that these life skills are important for all ages and even more valuable than subjects taught in school. This is exactly why I do what I do. I believe confidence exists in every child and I act as a catalyst to help them find it and strengthen it. My aim is to enable each child to reach their highest potential. 

Good communication skills and confidence is more than just a skill. It is a mindset and a lifestyle. Having healthy communication strategies helps children better their mental health, hold more positive relationships, be more empathetic and take on challenges in a much easier way. This is why I always provide a holistic approach in my teachings. Each child has their own unique needs and this is why I always provide individualized lesson plans and teachings to my students. 

In addition to being a confidence and communications coach, I also hold a degree in psycholinguistics from The University of Toronto. Secondly, I am a Mental Health and Addictions student. I have over 8 years of experience working with children of all kinds. Also, I am a certified emotional intelligence practitioner, public speaking facilitator, mindfulness practitioner and an acceptance and commitment therapy practitioner. I also hold a TESOL certificate and teach online English to students in China.

Philosophy: 
I am a strong believer in "learning through play". This is why you will notice that my classes are always filled with fun learning games. I also make my classes as interactive as possible, where kids can role-play situations that can be applicable in real life.  Lastly, I take high priority on providing my students with a safe and comfortable place where they can be themselves and grow.  


Some other fun facts about me: 
1. I am a dancer and a performer.
2. My favorite color is pink. 
3. I LOVE DIY projects.
4. My favourite ice cream is unicorn sparkle. 
5. I have an obsession with shoes. 

That's a little bit about me. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. If you have any further questions and/or inquiries, please feel free to reach out to me!
