Interviewing can be absolutely nerve-racking for anyone, but is especially stressful for teenagers who have yet to experience the process. While most people will never be totally comfortable with interviewing, the goal is to be *less uncomfortable* in a one-on-one situation by building confidence through practice. This course is designed to help students mentally prepare for interacting with people for the first time in a variety of interview situations, such as: -A Job Interview (first or new job) -Interviewing for a Private School, Scholarship, or Internship -College Interview The class will introduce elements that are common amongst all major interviews, identify what specific elements may be unique dependent on the interview & how to prepare for them, and how such skills can also be applied to casual interactions outside an interview situation. They will be given a checklist they should run through before any interview to help make their new skills second nature--the goal is to be able to sit down with anyone and talk about anything without fear! We will practice some of the points in class, by answering unknown questions on the spot, thinking about what we'd want the interviewer to know, and asking follow-up questions.

Massachusetts Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Hello! My name is Bill and I offer a wide variety of courses that either reinforce the skills found in a traditional English/Humanities class such as writing and public speaking, or fall into more of the "miscellaneous" category, such as basic life skills required to be independent--like creating and maintaining a budget, basic cooking, etc. I balance out my practical courses (such as "how to interview") with fun offerings meant to reinforce traditional concepts (learning how to start your own business through "Ghostbusters"). In a nutshell, I want to encourage young people to explore and be excited by learning, not simply with the core subjects taught in school, but by everything life has to offer. Be an active participant; be curious; push yourself--and you'll see how rewarding it is to try something new.
I have my Master's degree in Education and Bachelor's degree in English Literature; I have been teaching since 2008 and have worked with kids of all ages (including my three kids at home). I believe students learn best when they are treated with respect and engage them at their age level--they shouldn't be talked "down" to and treated younger than they are, but there also needs to be expectations they must meet to demonstrate maturity in thinking and behavior; kids won't learn to be responsible if they aren't given responsibility and the chance to prove themselves. I work best by interacting in a fun & casual manner; I love to joke with the kids and am lighthearted with my approach as long as everyone is respectful and doing the work (it's pretty simple!).
I am excited to be working with new students from new places and different backgrounds--having a course where people are together across states (and even countries) helps create a sense of a truly connected world--a world where we feel a bit safer knowing we all ultimately want the same thing in life and can help each other make it happen. I also am excited to use the opportunity to learn new things right along with the kids; I love the idea of running a course where everyone, myself included, determines a new skill or hobby they want to learn, creates a plan, and then makes it happen! Young people need to see adults humble themselves and say, "hey, I don't know something, but I want to!"
I look forward to working with you and hope you're excited by the courses I will be offering--check back often for any new classes!
