During this lesson, I will be teaching a class, which will be set up as a "mission." This mission will be super fun, engaging, and an incredible opportunity to learn and grow. Our main mission of every class is to produce a coherent, and creative paragraph! This course focuses specifically on ensuring that all learners feel comfortable with analyzing and developing writing strategies. However, it does not stop there! This course is founded upon the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) learning methodology. This course is delivered in an action-oriented approach, which ensures that limitless authentic learning tasks are delivered. All learning styles and needs are met, as learners will be able to collaborate, work autonomously, and develop language skills and strategies in authentic situations. This course promotes meaningful, open-ended, and unrehearsed writing activities, which will allow for all learners to use their imaginations, and genuinely connect with the writing they produce throughout the course. Differentiation is very important to me, and thus, I always provide positive feedback, model answers, brainstorm all together, plan relevant instructions, and focus on instilling a love for learning and for oneself in all materials. Undoubtedly, this course focuses greatly on writing, but more than anything, my main goal is to ensure every learner recognizes just how AMAZING they are, whilst also providing all learners with opportunities to continue to grow their self-confidence! Week of December 12th: Persuasive Paragraph Week of December 19th: Paragraph of your choice!
Learning Goals

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello everyone! My name is Helena! :)
First of all, a huge thank you to ALL of my amazing learners and families. You are all incredible, and I am so grateful for your kindness, enthusiasm and love for learning. It has been a true pleasure learning and working with you all. Virtual hugs!
I am a certified elementary and high school teacher whom absolutely loves teaching! I have an Honour's Specialization in History, French Language and Literature, and a degree in Education. I have extensively studied language acquisition and metacognition, and feel very privileged to bring this knowledge to each of my classes. My heart is learning and teaching! I have had the privilege to teach all grade levels, and have taught in both Canada and London, United Kingdom. Not only do I teach in the classroom (virtual, nowadays!) but I also teach in the dojo. Karate has been a humongous part of my life for 21 years, and it brings me so much joy to share my love for martial arts with learners from around the world!
I am fluent in English, French and Greek! From a young age, I have absolutely adored studying languages. I really excelled in environments, which were authentic in nature and allowed for me to learn in a way that was hands-on and fun. As a result, I always ensure that my classes are super engaging and an experience that will aid in confidence building!
I believe that education and learning must go far beyond the four walls of the classroom. It is a time in which all students should have the opportunity to recognize just how incredible they are in an exciting, and nurturing environment. In doing so, I hope to help students become leaders and grow their interpersonal and intrapersonal skills! As Plato said, there is a genius within every single one of us, and I am absolutely dedicated to helping others reach their full potential!
In my personal time, I love to read, write, travel, garden, listen to music (and have a dance party at the same time) and spend time with my dear family!
I really look forward to meeting you!
For now, à bientôt, which means see you soon in French!
Thank you!
