▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚𝗠𝘆 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬
I have been teaching English and other subjects in an online classroom setting since 2014. I hold a Bachelor's of Science degree in Human Development and Family Studies, a TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) teaching certificate, along with a minor in Gerontology and Horticulture. When I am not teaching online, I can be found in the classroom of my local elementary school as a substitute teacher.
▬▬▬▬▬▬ ✨𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲✨▬▬▬▬▬▬
In 2019, I was asked to speak at a conference of 700+ teachers to talk about how I use technology in the classroom to teach online learners. I also had the opportunity to speak with the Oxford University Press about ESL curriculum. As of 2023, I have taught over 10,000+ classes online.
▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🌍𝗠𝘆 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺🌍 ▬▬▬▬▬▬
My courses engage young learners in a wide array of topics. Through discussion groups, book clubs, travel adventures, games, and role-playing activities, joining in my online classroom is guaranteed to be a fun and engaging experience. My class topics come from real life experiences. Whether it be my life-long love for the Harry Potter series, backpacking Europe to discover the delights of books and films, or my own keen sense of adventure and play, I only offer courses on things that deeply inspire me.
In my classroom, your enrollee will be engaged by my own excitement for learning. I use webcam software in my classroom that allows me to use videos, music, green-screening, animations, and more to make my classroom a captivating experience. Not to mention, my love for costumes and role-playing allow me to create an immersive experience in each class.
▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🧙♂️𝗠𝘆 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗽𝗵𝘆🧙♂️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬
I think education should be made fun by allowing kids to learn about topics through their own interests. Learning in my classroom is an energetic experience that focuses on engaging each student to participate actively. Each child will have their own chance to express their opinions, thoughts, and ask questions.
Alright, enough about me! Time to dive in and have some fun!
