Teach Me Something: Build Confidence & Communication Through Learner Led Lessons

In this interactive class, learners become the teacher! Over 4 sessions, they will brainstorm, plan, and present a 3-5 minute lesson on a topic they know a lot about. With guidance and support, they'll learn how to organize their ideas, engage an audience, and present with confidence. 

This class is designed to be fun, low-pressure, and encouraging, helping learners build communication skills while sharing their passions. Join us and let's learn something new from each other!

Teaching Approach:

This class is designed to be interactive, learner-centered, and supportive, using a combination of project-based learning, guided instruction, and peer collaboration to build confidence and communication skills. I will provide support, modeling, and feedback early on, then gradually shift responsibility to learners. Mistakes are seen as learning opportunities with a focus on effort and progress helps build learners' confidence in public speaking. 

While I carefully plan each session to ensure a rich learning experience, I also remain adaptable - allowing learners' energy, ideas, and creativity to shape the flow of the class. I foster a supportive environment where all learners feel comfortable participating at their own pace.

This flexible approach ensures all learners feel comfortable, challenged, and successful.

I look forward to seeing how this class grows and evolves!
