Though homework will not be offered, I would encourage the student to read the story that will be discussed for that particular class, so he or she will have an idea of what is being discussed, and will be able to participate in the class discussion.Experiencia de clase

The Tales of Edgar Allan Poe The class will go over eight of Edgar Allan Poe's well known stories. As Poe is known to many as the master of horror, and an influence to other writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, HP Lovecraft, Stephen King, and Rod Serling. We will look at the underlying themes pertaining to each story, and discuss a new story each week. We will listen to an audio narration of each story, which will take up approximate one-third of the class, and spend the remaining time talk about the plot, and how the underlying theme ties into the story. I like to encourage discussion, and hope to makes class as engaging, and enjoyable as possible.
Metas de aprendizaje
The goals of this course is to have the student find an appreciation for literature in general, but also possibly to inspire them to tap into their own creative side. Whatever the format is, I believe everyone has a story to tell, and if I can inspire people to find that creative niche, then I feel I have achieved that goal. Poe as mentioned has been an inspiration for many in the art of literature, poetry, and even film having an influence on Tim Burton, Vincent Price, and Christopher Lee. I hope the student enjoys attending the class, as I hope to enjoy teaching it.

Otros detalles
Orientación para padres
The tales of Edgar Allan Poe as fascinating as they are, may deal with some themes, which some may feel are somewhat disturbing, and gruesome. Such themes as death, torture, madness, and revenge are relevant to the stories. Any concerns parents may have, by all means reach out to me, and I will do my best to answer any questions that you may have.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Hello to all,
I am online teacher, who has been teaching online since 2018. My experience has been teaching English to students living in their home countries. I would like to take my experience to the Outschool format, where not only would I assist in language learning, but a number of other topics. This would include the following:
1) Practical Math, or making math fun.
This would involve using math problems that are not only fun, but can be used in everyday life. The overall purpose of this class is to take the fear out of math.
2) Superhero Math
I love comics, and of course many of those happen to be superheroes, so this course would be classes that would be connected to superheroes. It is simply another way to make math interesting for the student.
3) The science of Superheroes
Learn about the science of your favorite superheroes. What is the science behind some of your favorite superheroes, and how science is applied in their character.
4) The science of Super Villains
For those who are drawn to the dark side, this class is for you. Learn about the scientific background of some of your favorite villains. I take no responsibility if after this class, you decide to take over the world.
5) Gothic Literature
Gothic Literature is some of the most popular literature ever written. In this class I want to focus on what makes literature earn the Gothic Label, focusing on writers such as Mary Shelley, Robert Louis Stevenson, Bram Stoker, and Edgar Allan Poe.
6) Storytelling How to tell a good story
Storytelling is one thing that is common in all cultures, and it has grown throughout the years. But what makes a good story, and how do you tell it in a way, that not only grabs the attention of the audience, but also maintains it.
The values behind my teaching style is simply to make learning fun, and have people look at learning through a different perspective. I feel that as a teacher communication is important, so I try to talk with the student, and not at them, and I feel I can learn something from them too.
A little something about me, I like being creative, and tapping into my artistic side. I am currently writing my first book, and I believe everyone has a story to tell. I am currently teaching myself digital modeling, and after many years have decided to return to photography, and illustration. I also consider myself a polyglot in training, where I am currently studying nineteen languages.Reseñas
