Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
This fun one-time class will explore the personal and political life of the French Queen, Marie Antoinette, and her role and influences in 18th Century France. We will examine how her lifestyle and expensive tastes riled the people of France and explore her links to the French Revolution and the abolition of the Monarchy. 

The class involves a virtual tour of (using Google Maps) of Marie Antoinette’s main residences and historic paintings that help us to document her life. The class is supported with a presentation and quizzes. Learners are challenged to interpret some key information and to be involved in the Question-and-Answer sections.

No prior knowledge is necessary.

Learning Goals

> Investigate the role of the French monarchy during a period of intense political and social unrest

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Secondary Education
Bachelor's Degree from University of Surrey
I am a qualified teacher in the UK with over 25 years’ experience, delivering high quality learning content in schools and for online providers. I have extensive experience teaching IT and Digital Technology classes and I love to teach Earth Sciences, History, English, Art, and Craft classes too. My personal passions for Digital Art and Graphic Design also feature in my choice of classes. I currently enjoy tutoring students in many different countries, and I am excited to share my skills as part of this online learning community.

My classes are intended to be engaging and fun and I passionately believe that online learning can support and enhance the existing school and home ed curriculum. I use a range of digital tools and online services in my classes to enhance the learning experience. 

I am a patient teacher and encourage all to fully participate in their learning. Every class aims for a 'can do' environment with students positively challenged throughout each session. Mistakes are embraced and rewarded by self-improvement and a growth in confidence. I have experience of teaching children with a range of differing needs, and aim to make all lessons as inclusive as they can be.

I am a Mum to 2 children, (12 and 14). We enjoy digital technology, reading, long walks, and playing music together!

I am happy to offer private tutor sessions by request.
