I have taught over 5,000 students on Outschool and countless others outside the platform. I love using a favorite game to teach all kinds of topics from chemistry to multiplication to money matters. I think students learn best when they are engaged and having fun, and what's more fun than Minecraft? I have worked with students of many different abilities and I have created activities to help reach different types of learners. I look forward to this hands-on money matters class with your student!!
