👩🏻‍🏫 How will you teach?

This is a self-paced class which means that there are NO live lessons. Instead, learners will have access to pre-recorded lessons and all supplementary materials, including activities, games, worksheets and links to relevant videos. 

🍎 What's your teaching style?

My approach is grounded in warmth, compassion and a deep understanding of young children's developmental needs. Each session is carefully crafted to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe to explore mindfulness and emotional wellbeing. I believe in the power of interactive and playful learning. Through games, storytelling and interactive activities, I aim to make mindfulness concepts relatable and accessible by using language and explanations that are appropriately pitched for young minds.
