Class Experience

*At the end of each class we will open up a brand new pack of Pokemon cards! Will we get a full art or a secret rare? You will have to be in class to find out!!!*

Is your child a huge Pokemon fan? Are they looking for other Pokemon fans to have a fun time and talk Pokemon with? Well then this is the weekly class for them!

Each class is an hour long and will be broken down into three sections. The classes will run as follows:

Pokemon News Discussion – Each class will start with a discussion focused on current day Pokemon news. What is the newest card set coming out? Who are the new Pokemon in the new anime? We will talk about the Pokemon news that your child WANTS to know!

Pokemon Sharing - Students can bring their favorite Pokemon related items! Do they have a rare Pokemon card they want to show? Have they been catching new Pokemon in Pokemon Go or Scarlet? This is your child's time to share with us their favorite Pokemon items!

Pokemon Card Battle Raid - Our new Pokemon card battle raids have been a hit! Each student is able to bring one Pokemon card of their choice to the raid battle. We will be facing a trainer and working together to defeat their 3 Pokemon!

If your child is looking for their weekly Pokemon time then this is the perfect session for them! Each section of this class is limited to 10 students to ensure each student will be able to discuss during each class!

Teacher expertise and credentials

New York Teaching Certificate in Health/PE

Throughout my almost 2 decades in education, I have worked with students from Preschool all the way up to college. After receiving my education degree from SUNY Brockport, I received my Masters' Degree in Educational Administration (School Building Leader and School District Leader) from Lehman College. I have spent over a decade working for NYC DOE and also spent two years working at Barnard College, the sister college of Columbia University. 

My experiences with students in all of these age groups taught me one thing, over and over again -- one size fits none. You can't mass produce education, it only works well if it's individualized, and if lessons are taught in ways that excite, interest and engage each student. In 2012, I started a company focusing on unique and individual learning techniques. Our in-person classes taught a myriad of educational lessons through mediums that gripped my students -- we taught math concepts through movement games, language and writing skills through art, etc. During the coronavirus pandemic, I transitioned that same concept to my Outschool classes -- it's a platform that I love because it allows me to tap into kids' niche interests in an even more drilled down way than I could do in person. Now, whether my younger students are learning about a certain calculation technique via a Pokemon character, or my older ones are discussing their true passions as a way to figure out how to get into their dream colleges, I'm most satisfied with my work when I'm meeting kids right where they are. Seeing a child learn something new while he or she is showcasing expertise in a subject area of passion is a win for me and for the student. I learn from my students every day, and I'm thrilled when they feel like they've grown and gained in each class, too.
