Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner Level
Class Experience:
I employ a neurodiversity-friendly teaching approach in this course, embracing different learning styles and challenges. Lessons are designed to be interactive and captivating, integrating visual aids, hands-on activities, and multisensory techniques to reinforce learning. Whether your child is a visual learner, has ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences, I provide strategies to accommodate diverse needs and ensure deep understanding.

No prior background knowledge is required; I start with foundational concepts based on assessed learning levels and gradually progress to more advanced topics. I maintain high engagement as an educator during live meetings. Although a self-paced course, regular meetings are available when requested to ensure that identified goals and support are being continually assessed and adjusted to support successful outcomes. I am committed to frequent communication through messaging, responding to queries within [time frame, e.g., 24-48 hours], and offering constructive feedback on assignments to support continuous improvement.

Whether your child is just beginning their journey or looking to deepen their understanding, this class offers a structured  and cross-curricular approach to mastering core subject concepts.


Estimated Completion Time: Approximately  Eight weeks. This may vary depending on the pace of individual learners.
