Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
Beginner Level
This is a non-practical weekly science lesson, where learners can join at any time.  The class is for teens aged 12-16, while the content is from work traditionally set in the UK across grades 4-7. This means it is suited for teens who are working at grade levels below their age, or have not yet covered a lot of science curriculum.

🌈I am passionate about helping teens strengthen core skills to succeed. This can often mean applying the content and skills often covered in lower-grade levels, allowing teens to develop skills and confidence by meeting them where they are.

🌈I focus on building confidence and foundational skills in a nurturing and empowering environment. I help teens master core concepts, overcome academic challenges, and develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.

Each lesson will explore a core scientific area, covering the theory and learnings that are elementary age-appropriate. This is not a practical session, and learners won't need any equipment. These lessons allow our teens to gain science knowledge and an understanding of the world.

I will provide direct instruction from a fun and engaging slide deck. There may also be supporting videos shared. Learners are free to ask questions and join in with discussion in the chat box or on video. There is no pressure to contribute.

I am a very supportive teacher, and work to create an atmosphere of bravery and giving things a try. No one is put under pressure. Cameras can be off if needed.

📎This class will not be canceled for low-enrollment. I teach all classes, even if only 1 learner is enrolled. If your learner does not like to go ahead with 1-to-1 classes, please let me know.📎

Weekly topics range from: skeletons, light, life cycles, muscles, force, electricity, classification of animals etc.

Each week can stand alone.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from University of Brighton
 I'm Ms. Riot, a creative teacher (certified, qualified and experienced) from London, England. My teaching adventure began at university with the completion of my 4-year degree (Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Primary Education) back in 2007. 

In the UK, we achieve our QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) through additional exams and proven experience which I also achieved in 2007. My dissertation allowed me to carry out research into how we can motivate young learners to want to read more.  I completed one of my student teaching placements in Arizona, USA and I worked as the Literacy Lead for two summers at a not-for-profit camp in New York, USA.

As an elementary classroom teacher, I developed creative classrooms where students felt safe enough to fail. My passion for reading also allowed me to develop a new career as a high school librarian, teaching reading lessons across the school. I have also taught students English up to the age of 16 at a prestigious online school.

More recently, I have worked within the learning department in a large museum, teaching at a range of online schools and designing curriculum for education resource companies. I also deliver lectures to trainee teachers.

At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies a belief that learning should be an adventure, sprinkled with curiosity and laughter. We can be serious about learning without it always being too serious.
