----------------------------------------
with Ms. Mel
(BA, Certified K-6 Teacher, ECE, TESOL)
⭐️This is an interactive, high energy, and highly educative math program that meets 1x weekly! This class is designed to encourage self-efficacy and interest in mathematics by means of engaging subject matter and appealing visuals. We will tackle all basic preschool math concepts while subtly introducing kindergarten-level equivalents.
⭐️I strive to ensure that students feel confident tackling math-related problems and feel comfortable taking risks, making mistakes, and getting right back on the horse! This weekly practise will encourage positive connections with math and the academic learning environment before formal schooling. My responsive teaching style, welcoming environment, and effective encouragement strategies will help learners to build self-efficacy, self-esteem, and resiliency in all aspects of their lives.

Hello families!!
My name is Ms. Mel and I teach preschool/kindergarten level math concepts to learners of all ages and abilities on Outschool!
As a certified Ontario p/j teacher with an undergraduate in Early Childhood Development, I'm constantly researching and reflecting on my practice, thinking of ways that I can encourage childrens' self-efficacy and resilience in math learning. I am always thinking: "How can I get this particular concept into this particular mind?" I have deep passion for early growth/development and mental health, and my main priority is ensuring that the students in my online classroom feel welcomed and part of our learning community, and are being equipped with all the necessary tools to be happy, motivated, and resourceful lifelong learners. I do my best to create lessons that are visually appealing and keep my students highly engaged with funny and interesting twists. We LOVE to have fun in my classes and that is our main mission, because we all know how easy it is to learn new things when we're enjoying the process!
Thank you for reading! I feel so lucky that I get to do what I love every day and be part of something that I'm proud of. I can't wait to be a part of your child's growth and success; see you in class!Reviews
