Beginner Level
In this 8 lesson course, learners will cover the fundamentals of fractions. The content in these lessons comes from the content I deliver to learners in Grade 3 (ages about 8-9). I also deliver these same lessons to learners aged up to 12, when these learners benefit from some focused confidence building. This new listing is for teens, delivering the same Grade 3 content, but for learners who are older. I teach each lesson similar to how I'd instruct students in a standard classroom, encouraging them to join in, and work on math problems along side me. This allows scaffolded support for those that need it, but learners can also work a little at their own pace. I am a certified and experienced elementary teacher from the UK, who also has experience with learners up to the age of 18. I love helping learners find the confidence with learning. Fractions is a common area of math where students get 'stuck', so spending some focused time learning, recapping or revising fractions can be really beneficial. I will supply an optional worksheet after each lesson. I encourage you to print this off and allow your learner time to practice the skills covered in lesson. The Standard Refund Policy of Outschool is: "Parents receive a full refund if they withdraw from a class of any type within 24 hours of purchase. Note that the 24-hour refund window only applies until the next meeting or lesson access begins.". **Please note that I will refund classes with 7+ days of notice. I hope that this allows you to feel confident in booking classes in the future. I appreciate that plans can change, and will refund with a week's notice. **

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Brighton
Greetings! I'm Ms. Riot, a creative teacher (certified, qualified and experienced) from London, England. My teaching adventure began at university with the completion of my 4-year degree (Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Primary Education) back in 2007.
In the UK, we achieve our QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) through additional exams and proven experience which I also achieved in 2007. My dissertation allowed me to carry out research into how we can motivate young learners to want to read more. I completed one of my student teaching placements in Arizona, USA and I worked as the Literacy Lead for two summers at a not-for-profit camp in New York, USA.
As an elementary 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, teaching reading lessons across the school. 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.
At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies a belief that learning should be an adventure, sprinkled with curiosity and laughter. We can be serious about learning without it always being too serious.
