This class is a fun online gaming experience tailored specifically for learners or sibling/friend groups that want a more private gaming experience. This personalized class allows your learner or learners to choose an age-appropriate game within the popular Roblox platform, or I can suggest a game that aligns with their interests and preferences. During the private sessions, students will not only have a blast playing their favorite games, but they will also receive important reminders about gaming and online safety. I will guide them through best practices to ensure a safe and enjoyable gaming experience. Topics such as maintaining a positive online presence, handling online interactions, and protecting personal information will be covered periodically. Learners will have the chance to explore virtual worlds, build their problem-solving skills, and foster collaboration, all while being supported by a knowledgeable and caring instructor. For students gaming on a computer, I can also provide step-by-step instructions on how to create and upload their own custom decals, shirts, and pants. This hands-on learning opportunity allows students to unleash their creativity and personalize their gaming experience by designing unique in-game items. This class is particularly beneficial for shy learners who may feel apprehensive about engaging in peer-to-peer interactions. This personalized program provides a safe and supportive environment where learners can develop their gaming skills at their own pace and without the pressure of immediate social interactions. Through one-on-one interaction with the teacher, the learner can freely express their thoughts, ask questions, and seek guidance without the fear of judgment. This supportive environment allows them to develop their social skills, gradually easing them into peer-to-peer interactions at their own pace. My availability is currently limited, please message me to see if we can find a time that works for us both. **Pricing is shown for a 1:1 or 2:1 session. Please message me to talk about pricing for sibling or friend groups. Each learner attending will need to be enrolled separately.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Christine, but in 2021, many of my learners started calling me by the nickname Ms. Wish after my gamer handle. I love it and it stuck!
I am a former private school classroom teacher and current homeschooling mom. I have taught students from infants to senior citizens in various subjects, though I have a special affinity for video gaming, music, math, theater, and language.
On Outschool, I teach mostly social gaming clubs as I have found a need for learners to socialize while playing their favorite online games in a safe and supervised environment. In these classes, students build important social skills needed to have fun and stay safe in an online gaming environment. I am a strong believer that much learning happens through play! Like Maria Montessori said "play is the work of the child." These days much play happens in the virtual world, and as a lifelong gamer I choose to embrace it!
I have had a passion for teaching since I was in 3rd Grade and was selected for a program that allowed a few students to tutor 1st-grade students in reading and math. Since then, I have worked as a teacher/tutor my entire adult life. I have a Bachelor's in Liberal Studies with a concentration in music and have received training in the Kodaly Method of teaching music to young learners. My instrument of choice is my voice.
I have a gentle and playful teaching style built on mutual respect. My favorite quote is from Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods, "Careful the things you say. Children will listen. Careful the things you do. Children will see and learn."
When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking and rediscovering the wonders of nature with my son.
I am looking forward to seeing your learner in class!
