Please note: The 1:15(Eastern) class is mostly ages 8-11 and the 215pm(Eastern) class is age 12 and up!
 1:15pm (Eastern) class is set to end at 2:05 pm, but tends to run until 2:15 due to the majority of the kids being a bit younger :)


Are you LOQUACIOUS? Has THE CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE? Not sure what that means? Then this class is for you! Designed for ages 9-13, this fun and interactive course teaches advanced vocabulary through pictures, rhyming words, and hilarious vocabulary cartoons. We’ll also dive into the fascinating history of idioms, uncovering their origins and the time periods they came from. Learn something new and "tickle your funny bone" while you’re at it!

This 50-minute course introduces 5 new vocabulary words and 5 new idioms each week. Students will learn how to use the words in context and discover practical ways to incorporate them into everyday life.

Classes meet once a week, and learners can join at any time—each lesson is a self-contained adventure in language and history!


The English language is truly beautiful, offering countless ways to say the same thing—some more eloquent than others. Adages are like the sweet cherry on top of our daily speech! Join me to discover new ways of expressing old ideas and take a fun step toward building your vocabulary. Each class begins and  wraps up with an exciting Kahoot game to review what we’ve learned!

No need to be perfect—this class is all about having fun and learning together. No prior knowledge is needed—just bring a pen, paper, and a separate device for Kahoot. Let’s dive in and expand your skills!

PLEASE NOTE: The 1:15 PM (Eastern) class is primarily ages 8-11, while the 2:15 PM (Eastern) class is ages 12 and up! The 1:15 class is scheduled to end at 2:05 PM but often runs until 2:15 PM to accommodate the younger age group.

Each week, both classes will explore 5 new words and 5 new idioms. Bonus words may be added if students are excelling! If I notice anyone struggling with certain words, I’ll revisit them in future sessions with fresh cartoons or new explanations to ensure understanding. To boost confidence, especially for reluctant learners, some weeks may include more familiar words alongside advanced ones. This keeps learning fun, approachable, and exciting for everyone!

While the class start time is listed, please patiently allow up to 5 minutes past start time in the waiting room before we get started so that most students can arrive and I can follow Outschool’s policies on allowing students to enter. Please note: My currents Tuesday at 1:15pm (astern) class is set to end at 2:05 pm, but tends to run until 2:15 due to the majority of the kids being a bit younger :) Use of Kahoot on a separate device will be used in class at the end to review what we've learned for the day. Please be advised, especially for younger children. Please download and create account if necessary before the first day. Fast paced. High energy! Notes will have to be taken! Some of my class sizes are larger, it keeps the energy going and gives ease to shy students. Please make sure you are ok with the class size BEFORE registering! (FYI, I have ALWAYS taught larger classes and am very skilled at teaching and controlling large groups of 20- 30 students daily for the last 23 years, so this is a breeze, they are in good hands!) Additional Info: Discounted enrollments are not eligible for pausing or unenrolling. If you pause more than once for any reason, you can continue the class of course, but will have to go back to full price. If you Unenroll, you will have to go back to full price. **No transfers. Please don't miss a payment. Outschool runs payments once a week (usually on Sundays) If you miss a payment you must go back to full price. With so many students and parents, it creates a ton of work creating new links every week for those who missed payments. I can no longer do it. Please also note that pausing does not hold a seat in Outschool's system. New discounts are not for existing students. New discounts are for students new to the class ONLY. (**No transfers). One discounted seat per family, other seats must be at regular price (unless you ask me ahead of time, those I will honor) f you have a DISCOUNTED ENROLLMENT, but your learner has missed 3 classes or more, I have to give the spot to another learner that is waitlisted to come. Spots are scarce, the class is full, and there are others who want to participate. Student learners can use the same screen, but must be enrolled separately in the class and have their own learner profile with Outschool. Please be mindful that I do strictly follow the refund policy outlined by Outschool as it pertains to the class. If you are beyond the window for a refund, reach out to me and, as a courtesy, I will try to see if I can assist in another way. However, there is no guarantee that another arrangement can be reached. Most of you know me well by now and see my heart. I am very nice. But we also have to be mindful that we are not taking advantage of one another :)

Hello, and welcome to Vocabulary Cartoons and Origins of Idioms! My students (and friends) call me Ms. Erica! 
 I love idioms! I love vocabulary! My parents often spoke in parables around the house when I was young. Since discovering the term “idioms” as a child, I’ve been a mental collector of them, reciting them often, researching their origins, history and stories since I was a kid! I also read the Childcraft Dictionary and Thesaurus for fun! While learning about idioms and vocabulary, I learned the beauty of language, culture, and became an avid reader and lover of vocabulary, adages, poems and other expressions of the English language! I still study them, so I would say I am a self-proclaimed expert in the field with a passion to share what I know!

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.
