***NOTE REGARDING AMONG US UPDATE: You must update your game/app to the latest version so that we can all play together. Welcome to the club! Let's get together and play the very popular game Among Us each week! Among us is a very interactive and fun game that involves a group of crewmates on a spaceship. But there is an imposter! Or two! Or three! Join me as we work together to complete tasks and to try to find the imposter or imposters among us! Players may want to mute their microphones while we are working on the ship so as to not to give away their status. When a meeting is called, students will discuss their thoughts on who the imposter is and why. Players will have to use their deductive reasoning and communication skills to work as a team. Good sportsmanship is always fostered. The game also has a chat feature; students will be safe because I will be hosting a private game session. We will play as many rounds as time allows and that should be quite a few! Students can have input into game settings. We may even play new game variations like Hide and Seek if the group would like to. Students should have 2 devices for the class. For example, they can take the class on Zoom on a PC or tablet, and they can play on a tablet, phone, computer or game system. The exact configuration is your choice. The mobile APP is free. The game should be downloaded before class time so that they are ready to play when they enter class. *** I will always play in the game. We will need at least 3 students in the class in order to activate the game. If we do not get enough players enrolled in the class, I will transfer or refund students. ***** Please let me know if you would like me to schedule the class at a time that you do not see listed. ****TRANSFER POLICY: I am flexible regarding transfers to another section of the same class (if available), but all transfers must be requested at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled class in order to allow another student the opportunity to enroll in your child's spot. Transfers cannot be granted for missed classes, or for requests made within 24 hours of the scheduled class. Transfers are only available for the same exact class, within the same Outschool week, which ends on Sunday. I hope to see you soon in our ongoing club!

Other Details
Parental Guidance

Hello, and welcome! I am super excited to offer classes and clubs for a variety of topics!
I love being a teacher! I am patient, enthusiastic, and passionate about making learning fun for every student. All of my classes are inclusive for all children, and are ESL, neurodivergent and autism friendly. I have experience teaching children in all of these groups and of varying ages, learning styles, academic abilities, and English proficiency levels. I look forward to meeting your child in the classroom for an exciting learning adventure!
I have an M.S. in Psychiatric Rehabilitation from the University of Medicine and Dentistry, NJ. I also hold a B.A. in both Psychology and Sociology, with a Criminology Certificate, all from Rutgers University. In addition, I earned a TESOL Certificate.
My teaching specialties include preschool skills, elementary education, ESL- English as a Second Language, life skills, and coping skills. Some of my other interests are video games, board games, travel, Disney, crafts, cooking, and baking.
My employment has always included teaching or counseling. I have taught in a daycare center, a children's developmental center, schools, and a psychiatric day program. I also have 5 years of experience teaching children English online. Educating all of these students has been very rewarding, and I am thrilled to be offering classes on Outschool.
