Did you know that Madagascar is actually an island? What is a Sahara and what is a Sahel? Is the cheetah ACTUALLY the fastest land mammal? Do you know what a bioluminescent bay is and where to find one? Did you know the eastern most part of the US is not even in the US mainland? Do you remember "Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego? Let's take an adventure! Embark on an epic adventure in this exciting geography class designed for kids ages 9-13! The Geography Crime Chase: Chasing Clues and Criminals Around the Globe is a series covering the countries of the world. In this course students will travel from country to country, collecting clues and uncovering secrets as they track down criminals around the globe. Along the way, they'll discover fascinating facts about different cultures, landmarks, and geography. Get ready to solve mysteries, learn about the world , and become a globetrotting detective.

Learners will learn about 3-4 new countries per class. Countries are taught in the order they appear geographically, from north to south. PLEASE NOTE: FEATURED CLASS TOPICS FOR EACH WEEK ARE STILL IN DEVELOPMENT AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE SLIGHTLY It doesn't happen often at all, but due to some very recent policy changes at YouTube, occasionally when I play a video from their platform, a 10second ad comes on beforehand. This is happening a lot with all teachers! I am working VERY HARD and diligently for a workaround.

Important Class Information
🎭 Historical Context & Language Disclaimer:
While this class is lighthearted and engaging, there may be occasional brief mentions of topics such as the slave trade, indentured servitude, and independence wars to help students understand how so many diverse people came to the Caribbean. These mentions will be kept minimal and age-appropriate to ensure an enjoyable learning experience.
⚡ Fast-Paced & High-Energy Learning!
This class is fast-paced and interactive! Note-taking will be required. Some of my class sizes are larger, which keeps the energy high and allows shy students to feel more at ease participating.
If class size is a concern, please ensure you’re comfortable before registering. (For reference, I have successfully taught large classes of 20-30 students daily for the last 23 years! They’re in good hands! 😊)
Handout will be posted in the classroom each week for easy printing and note taking!
📢 YouTube Ads Notice:
It doesn’t happen often, but due to recent policy changes on YouTube, there may occasionally be a 10-second ad before I play a video in class. This is affecting many teachers, and I am working diligently to find a workaround. I know it’s probably not a big deal, but I like to keep parents informed! 😊
⏳ Class Start Time & Waiting Room:
While the class start time is listed, please allow up to 5 minutes past the start time in the waiting room before we begin. This ensures that most students can arrive before class starts and allows me to follow Outschool’s policies on student entry.
Enrollment & Payment Policies
💰 Discounted Enrollments:
Discounted enrollments are not eligible for pausing or unenrolling.
If you pause more than once, you can continue the class, but must re-enroll at full price.
If you unenroll, you will need to rejoin at full price.
No transfers for discounted enrollments.
💳 Payment & Refund Policy:
Outschool processes payments weekly (usually on Sundays).
If you miss a payment, you must re-enroll at full price—unfortunately, I can no longer create weekly manual links for missed payments.
Pausing your enrollment does not hold your seat in Outschool’s system.
New discounts are for new students only (not existing students). No transfers.
One discounted seat per family—additional enrollments must be at full price (unless you ask me ahead of time, in which case I will honor it!).
⏳ Missed Classes & Waitlisted Students:
If a discounted enrollment student has missed 3 or more classes, I may need to offer their spot to a waitlisted student. The class is full, and there are others eager to join.
📺 Multiple Learners on One Screen:
Siblings or multiple students can use the same screen, but each must be enrolled separately under their own Outschool profile.
🔄 Refund Policy:
I strictly follow Outschool’s refund policy as it applies to this class. If you are outside the refund window, reach out to me, and as a courtesy, I will try to assist in another way—but there is no guarantee that an alternative arrangement can be made.
Final Note 💛
Most of you know me well by now and understand my heart. I am always happy to help and work with you, but let’s also be mindful of fairness so that we are not taking advantage of one another. 😊
Thank you for being part of this amazing learning adventure! 🌍🕵️♂️🔎

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
My family is of mixed Caribbean background originating from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and France. I grew up in a very mixed Afro-Caribbean/ American household, as my dad is from the island of Dominica and my mom was born and raised in the US. My family is spread across the islands, Africa, France, as well as the Americas. My parents often spoke in African and Caribbean parables, we ate what people would consider exotic foods, our culture was different. I learned the beauty of language and culture, as my family is bilingual (French and English)
I love poetry, art, music and different expressions of the human cultural experience!!! In my spare time I paint a lot! A lot can be learned through the music and artistic expression of people around the world.
Teaching is my passion, and for the past 22 years, I have been lucky to do what I love. I teach 3 classes totaling about 90 teenagers daily. I run a Multi-Cultural Homeschooling Group of over 200 families where I teach children ages 8-12 a variety of subjects. I am also a full-time homeschooling mom to my amazing 11-year-old daughter.
I have a passion to share what I know! In my classes I provide extraordinary experiences through unique use of humor and video during lessons making learning fun in our relaxed classroom setting.
I am always excited to learn new things! The best investment you can make is the one you make in yourself! I work consistently to improve my skills, and continuing professional training is absolutely an integral part. Every year I take advanced instructor training courses to stay abreast of the current teaching methods and techniques available to prepare for fantastic individual learning opportunities. I pride myself on this. Reseñas
