Class Experience

Detectives, are you ready?

We received information that someone is planning a robbery on Brent Street in London, during Christmas week- the only problem is, we don't know exactly where or when! All we have are a couple of clues to get us started.

Can we crack the clue and find the next piece of the puzzle to discover where and when the robbery will take place, and stop the thieves before it's too late?

In this one-time mystery class, you can become part of a team of amateur detectives just like you and solve this seasonal mystery together!

Work with interactive, authentic, and detailed clues - analyse each piece of evidence for further clues, and see if you can solve the hidden messages. All clues will be presented on screen and on the classroom so learners can browse through the clues individually. As their team leader, I will encourage and guide learners should they get stuck, and as learners solve each part of the puzzle, I will provide the next set of clues.

Are you up to the challenge, detective?

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Master's Degree in Education from Northumbria University
Bachelor's Degree in English from University of Newcastle
I'm a qualified teacher, experienced in teaching English, History, Music, and Art. I home educated my two children, who are now at university, and I have taught in mainstream schools, and in Special-Ed schools.

I have also taught piano, guitar, singing, and music theory, taking students through grade examinations.

I am experienced in teaching the British GCSEs, and through home-schooling, I taught my own children using American curriculum. I teach Language Arts, English Literature and Language, Creative Writing, Poetry - both writing, and reading, and many other fantastic and interesting topics.

I teach writing skills using the Writing Revolution techniques, and have seen students improve their writing skills rapidly using some of the techniques applied.

In addition, I worked as a graphic designer for 10 years, working from home, and offer graphic design and video editing classes, using Adobe Creative Suite, DaVinci Resolve, and soon, Affinity creative suite.

Growth Mindset is very important in my classes, and I encourage it in all learners - Growth Mindset is the belief that even if you can't do something or don't understand something, then you CAN learn how to do it or understand it. Growth Mindset says "I can't do it YET, but I can learn." Learning happens through making mistakes, and then modifying your approach, changing what you do, to improve. I encourage all learners to try, and to feel comfortable making mistakes, because that's how we all learn.
