Experiencia de clase

The class runs twice a week. Each week will be dedicated to a continent. We will start with Africa. 

The first class of every week will cover geography, climate  and history.  

For the second class of the week the students get the assignment to research the news for something current connected to the continent. 

I will start the second class by covering cultures( languages, people, art and religion) of the continent and we will end the class by talking about the news the students have found during the week. 

The student may do a research project throughout the class. The student will pick a subject to compare between the continents or a few countries. 

A few things that they can choose to compare are: 

The geographical differences between the continents. Climate, animal life, mountains, etc. 

A historical comparison of a century. For example compare the 1700's in France, the USA, Egypt, India, and Australia. 

Compare native religions on the different continents. 

Even though each lass is scheduled for 70 minutes every class won't run a full 70 minutes depending on how many students the class has and the subject taught at the moment

The student needs to have a general knowledge of world geography and history. The student also needs to be able to do research both weekly of the news and for the larger comparison project.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente

I am dedicated to forming connections with my students and customizing my teaching to suit their age. I aim to challenge my students while ensuring they never feel like failures. Patience, humor, and kindness are paramount in my approach.

As a teacher, I foster critical thinking through various activities such as research and discussions. The most rewarding part of my job is igniting my students' joy of learning and nurturing their curiosity about the world.

I believe in incorporating play into my teaching whenever possible, as I believe that everyone, regardless of age, has a playful side.

In my creative writing classes, I encourage students to draw from their experiences and thoughts to create unique pieces and share my passion for writing. This passion has been recognized with four awards  for a short story and three poems,  which I hope will inspire your students.

I am an immigrant from Sweden with a master's degree in education from Lund/Malmö University.

I have previously taught social and political science, religion, and geography and have nearly 25 years of experience working with children of different ages.

My diverse interests include folklore, photography, nature, books, and history, particularly on overlooked historical figures. I hope to share these interests with your students, sparking their curiosity and broadening their horizons.

I eagerly look forward to having your student in my class and am excited to embark on this learning journey together!
