Empower your teen to develop confidence in their writing and reading with 'Reading and Writing about Cars - Real Life English Skills for Teens', designed to help those who need extra support with their reading and writing. Example topics for each lesson include: *Reading Comprehension, "Triumph Cars" *Reading and Writing, "Fire and Explosion" Exploring how to stay safe around fuel tanks *Reading Comprehension, "Hybrid Cars" *Reading and Writing, "Communicating with Colleagues" *Reading Comprehension, "Hazardous Substances" *Reading and Writing, "Tire Types" *Reading Comprehension, "Cars for Sale" 🌈I am passionate about helping teens strengthen core skills to succeed. This can often mean applying the content and skills often covered in lower-grade levels, allowing teens to develop skills and confidence by meeting them where they are.🌈 🌈I focus on building confidence and foundational skills in a nurturing and empowering environment. I help teens master core concepts, overcome academic challenges, and develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.🌈 My weekly lessons are grounded in the UK Functional Skills English Level 2 curriculum, which, as the name suggests, is designed around reading and writing required in real-world scenarios. In this class, all reading and writing will focus on cars and working with cars. This course is perfect for teens and high-schoolers who may need extra support with their reading and writing. My lessons are casual in tone, but focused on learning. I believe that all students can make progress when they feel safe and supported. The Functional Skills Curriculum focuses our attention to English skills that will best allow our learners to engage and communicate in the world. 📎This class will not be canceled for low-enrollment. I teach all classes, even if only 1 learner is enrolled. If your learner does not like to go ahead with 1-to-1 classes, please let me know.📎

👋 Hi there! I'm Ms. Riot, your certified and passionate educator with a flair for innovation and a heart for student growth. Hailing from London, England, I qualified as a teacher in 2007 with my Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) in Primary Education and certified with my Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Here in the UK, I am certified to teach from 5-18 years old.
🌏I have taught around the world, including at a not-for-profit summer camp in New York, volunteering in Kenya and India, and completing a teaching placement in Arizona.
🏫As a classroom teacher, I developed creative classrooms where students felt safe enough to fail. My passion for reading also allowed me to develop a new career as a high school librarian, supporting teens who had not discovered that a library could be a space for them. I have also taught students English up to the age of 16 at a prestigious online school.
🖼️More recently, I have worked within the learning department in a large museum, teaching at a range of online schools and designing curriculum for education resource companies. I also deliver lectures to trainee teachers, supporting them to develop their practice.
🖥️I have been teaching online for a year, for different schools and platforms.

🌈I am passionate about helping teens strengthen core skills to succeed. This can often mean applying the content and skills often covered in lower-grade levels, allowing teens to develop skills and confidence by meeting them where they are.

🌈At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies a belief that learning should be an adventure, sprinkled with curiosity. We can be serious about learning without it always being too serious.
🌈I am a teacher who welcomes all students exactly as they are. I have a lot of experience with neurodivergent children and am a neurodivergent adult myself. Cameras can be turned off if preferred (after a quick hello with the camera on).
🌈I create quite low-demand classroom experiences. I encourage and welcome participation, but am very quick to adapt to learners who are unable or unwilling to partake in an obvious and active manner. This can mean only using the chat, or even only listening.
