Hello! I'm Ms. Tinu, a former Banker& Financial Expert, experienced educator, and Quantum Montessori guide. I'm thrilled to introduce you to our online Montessori class that aims to help children towards a better financial future. Our journey will be interactive, engaging, and packed with hands-on activities to make learning about finance fun and practical. Very Interactive, learners will play games, watch video clips, design games of their own, draw, express themselves independently, group tasks, fun quizzes, adventures etc.

I function effectively as a process guide for helping children navigate finance related topics. I use Socratic questioning to break down content into manageable pieces and to encourage participative learning from students from multiple perspectives. Ultimately it's what gets remembered that eventually gets used. I encourage learners to practice what we share during our sessions consistently for deliberate and intentional improvement goals. I try to create an engaging learning environment for my learners which is a proven strong motivator for positive learning. I strive to help my pupils with the best-suited style to their learning. I am very flexible with my day and times.
