(⏳ Class Start Time & Waiting Room: While the class start time is listed, please allow up to 5 minutes past the start time in the waiting room. This ensures that most students can arrive before we begin and allows me to follow Outschool’s policies on student entry.) This class is not for the Squeamish! But, if you love things that are weird, mysterious, gross and downright BIZARRE, you have come to the right place! Welcome to The Weird Science and Safari where we dive into the world’s most bizarre and fascinating wonders! In this weekly ongoing class for ages 8 through 13, we’ll explore extraordinary foods, mysterious places, unusual creatures, strange science, and breathtaking geographical phenomena. Each session is filled with exciting discoveries that ignite curiosity about our planet's quirkiest and most mysterious aspects. Weird Science and Safari: Discovering Bizarre Biology and Geography! is a 30 minute easy Geography and science course. Classes begin daily with a quick introduction to the topics the day. Learners will learn 3-5 new topics per class: Strange and Exotic Foods: We start with weird foods from around the world! From pungent fruits to cheese with live bugs, we’ll learn the stories, traditions, and cultures that make these unique dishes special. Unsolved Mysteries: We’ll dive into some of Earth’s greatest mysteries! From underwater monuments to vanishing ships, we’ll discuss theories and let students share what they think could explain these unsolved puzzles. Rare and Fascinating Creatures: Nature has produced some amazing and unusual animals. We’ll meet creatures like the velvet worm and mimic octopus, discovering how their unusual features help them survive and why they’re so rare. Weird Scientific Facts: We will discuss the mind-bending side of science. We’ll look at mysterious sounds, “immortal” creatures, and floating rocks, learning the science behind these phenomena and exploring ideas about how such discoveries might affect our world. Jaw-Dropping Geographical Phenomena: We wrap up with breathtaking natural sites and landscapes that seem out of this world! Classes are once a week and students can drop in at anytime as you don't have to have been here previously to understand each lesson!

Important Class Information
🎭 Bizarre-ness Disclaimer:
While this class will be fun and light hearted in nature, certain food topics may be a bit gross to some kids, like eating ants for protein. Please be advised. Mystery topics like the Bermuda Triangle, or Stonehenge will not be introduced as scary, but as interesting and mysterious! This class is not designed to be scary, but to put a fun twist on the science they learn everyday!
⚡ Fast-Paced & High-Energy Learning!
This class is fast-paced and interactive! Light note-taking will be required. Some of my class sizes are larger, which helps keep the energy high and makes it easier for shy students to participate. If class size is a concern, please be sure you’re comfortable with it before registering. (For reference, I have successfully taught large classes of 20-30 students daily for 23 years! They’re in good hands! 😊)
📢 YouTube Ads Notice:
It doesn’t happen often, but due to recent policy changes on YouTube, there may occasionally be a 10-second ad before I play a video in class. This is something affecting all teachers, and I am working diligently to find a workaround. I know it's not a huge deal, but I like to keep parents informed! 😊
⏳ Class Start Time & Waiting Room:
While the class start time is listed, please allow up to 5 minutes past the start time in the waiting room. This ensures that most students can arrive before we begin and allows me to follow Outschool’s policies on student entry.
Enrollment & Payment Policies
💰 Discounted Enrollments:
Discounted enrollments are not eligible for pausing or unenrolling.
If you pause more than once, you can continue the class, but must re-enroll at full price.
If you unenroll, you will need to rejoin at full price.
No transfers for discounted enrollments.
💳 Payment & Refund Policy:
Outschool processes payments weekly (usually on Sundays).
If you miss a payment, you must re-enroll at full price—unfortunately, I can no longer create weekly manual links for missed payments.
Pausing your enrollment does not hold your seat in Outschool’s system.
New discounts are for new students only (not existing students). No transfers.
One discounted seat per family—additional enrollments must be at full price (unless you ask me ahead of time, in which case I will honor it!).
⏳ Missed Classes & Waitlisted Students:
If a discounted enrollment student has missed 3 or more classes, I may need to offer their spot to a waitlisted student. The class is full, and there are others eager to join.
📺 Multiple Learners on One Screen:
Siblings or multiple students can use the same screen, but each must be enrolled separately under their own Outschool profile.
🔄 Refund Policy:
I strictly follow Outschool’s refund policy as it applies to this class. If you are outside the refund window, reach out to me, and as a courtesy, I will try to assist in another way—but there is no guarantee that an alternative arrangement can be made.
Final Note 💛
Most of you know me well by now and understand my heart. I am always happy to help and work with you, but let’s also be mindful of fairness so that we are not taking advantage of one another. 😊
Thank you for being part of this amazing learning adventure! 🌍🕵️♂️🔎

教師專業知識和證書
I bring a rich and diverse background to my teaching, shaped by my Afro-Caribbean and American upbringing. My family heritage originates from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, and France, and I was raised in a multicultural household—with my father from Dominica and my mother born and raised in the United States. The Caribbean is a blend of African, Asian, Indian, and European influences, and my upbringing reflected this mix. My family is bilingual in French and English, which deepened my appreciation for language, history, and cultural traditions. Our home was filled with parables, diverse cuisines, and a strong emphasis on education—values that continue to shape my teaching.
My passion for Science and Geography was sparked early, as these were the subjects I both excelled in and enjoyed the most. Today, I share that passion through engaging, interactive lessons that make scientific concepts come to life.
My Teaching Experience in this subject:
✅ I run a Multi-Cultural Homeschooling Group of over 200 families, where I teach children ages 8-12 a variety of subjects—including hands-on science experiments.
✅ As a full-time homeschooling mom, I provide rigorous science education to my 11-year-old daughter, incorporating real-world applications, hands-on learning, and STEM principles into her studies.
✅ I currently teach three Driver’s Education classes daily, reaching approximately 90 teenagers, where I integrate science, physics, and geography into lessons on road safety, vehicle mechanics, and environmental impact.
🔬 Hands-on Experimentation – Science is best learned through experimentation, observation, and discovery. My lessons are interactive and inquiry-based, encouraging students to ask questions, test hypotheses, and analyze results through engaging experiments and critical thinking activities.
🌍 Interdisciplinary Approach – I integrate Geography, Chemistry, Biology, and Environmental Science, ensuring students see how science applies to everyday life—from earthquakes and ecosystems to chemical reactions and space exploration.
🎥 Engaging, Multimedia-Based Learning – My teaching blends humor, storytelling, and multimedia, making even the most complex scientific ideas relatable, memorable, and exciting.
With over 22 years of teaching experience, I have been fortunate to educate and mentor students in multiple settings, from formal classrooms to homeschooling communities. Beyond academics, I am passionate about poetry, art, music, and cultural expression, and I often incorporate these elements into my teaching to provide an amazing learning experience.
I am committed to continuous professional growth, ensuring I stay current with the latest teaching methodologies and advancements. Each year, I complete advanced instructor training to refine my skills and enhance my students' learning experiences.
Teaching is not just my profession—it’s my passion. My goal is to create an inspiring, engaging, and inclusive learning environment where students develop a lifelong love for science, exploration, and discovery!
