Teaching Maths, Science, and Language in the Garden (ideal for teachers that want to get out of the classroom).

Van 39 € /h

This is a course originally developed for teaching primary schoolchildren in South Africa. It is divided into twelve sessions, all built around a garden at their home or school, and with a full teachers guide. You only need to be willing; all teaching and gardening knowledge needed will be taught to you over the course.

With my guidance, you will be able to roll out this project to any sized group or age of learners from primary to adult. The course is built around principles of permaculture, sustainable gardening, and environmental adaptation. The associated educational content gives specific education objectives that can be scaled to the learner.

You will be able to make the material your own, with material including teacher and student guides, posters, and friendly character graphics. You can find more information and images from previous courses run at feedingtheself.org

Extra informatie

The course material covers 12 sessions. The depth with which the material will be engaged with will depend on the number of sessions you are willing to undertake. If you have a full class, I would recommend 14 sessions in total, so that each module can be covered in depth, as well as the introductory material and a final feedback session.
You will need to buy seeds, seedlings, and commonly available (and cheap) gardening materials. Advice can be given on all of these as required.

They say that you need to write a million words of rubbish before you write anything good. I’m on about three or four million now, and I think I’m getting the hang of it. I can't readily think of any kind of academic, corporate, business, or social communications I haven't produced over the years.
I've taught primary school children maths through growing their own gardens, TEFL to adults, and university work including postgraduate science and philosophy students. Along the way I also became a scuba diving instructor and taught a lot of diving, too.
My teaching style is focused on identifying interest. All learning begins with wanting to learn about something so you can better express your thoughts, so it starts not with the technicalities but in unlocking and feeding your own passion and journey.

I'm so dedicated to mastering communication that I record esoteric audiobooks for fun. I'm also familiar with publishing eBooks, paperback, audiobooks, and all associated marketing and advertising content, including putting together a trilingual kid's book about a sausage dog last year. That covers advertising, web design, journalism, teaching material, fiction, E-publishing, academic and audiobooks. My corporate experience includes over a decade of producing content from clinical complaint responses and marketing material to workflows and call-centre training materials.
My systems approach is to make people’s lives easier and let the system do the heavy lifting for compliance. Automating the little stuff lets people focus on the real task at hand. That systems work covers development from teaching schoolchildren maths through gardening to creating at-a-glance indexes for staff, risk and complaints data for a primary care group with 44,000 patients.

Learn to Love Writing. Improve your academic and professional writing in English with quick steps to useful improvements

38 € /h

It's easy to get confused writing in English. Even if it is your first language, the way you write for academic, professional or adult purposes is very different to what they teach you at school.

I have significant expertise in every major field of writing, and can help you improve your written English. Depending on your personal needs, this could be anything from helping you get comfortable with just putting sentences together all the way to improving your academic referencing and citation style.

Speak With Confidence: Better English Through Poetry and Verbal Reasoning. Improved speaking, understanding, and grammar.

39 € /h

This course was originally developed for a Poetry Olympiad to train high school competitors in a crash-course.

It has two components:
1. Poetry. The poems are selected for their ease of understanding and complexity of performance. Each poem is read aloud in at least two different readings, with focused training on emphasis, pronunciation, and meaning.
2. Verbal Reasoning Tests. These are commonly used to test English understanding. Each test gives a short paragraph then four statements which can be true, false, or not given. In making your decision and double-checking for what's actually being said (rather than implied) you can learn to effectively understand complex or technical English texts.

The course is intended for ten sessions. An initial session will introduce the material and adjust the level of the lessons to your personal needs. Further sessions will include one poem and one verbal reasoning test. Homework between sessions will involve practicing the next poem and reading the next Verbal Reasoning Test (around 200 words).

Simple and motivating Spanish classes for beginners. I already have many students so they could be in groups or individually. I have students of all ages and all nationalities and I love watching their learning process.
You will learn Spanish at your own pace, after a level test I will check what you are ready for and what we can start on, focusing it your way. It can be Spanish to work, to travel or even to teach it.
Feel free to try it.

Always wanted to get green fingers? In this workshop, you'll learn step by step how to keep your plants healthy and strong. We'll cover the basic principles of plant care—from light, water, and fertiliser to repotting and propagation. You'll learn to recognise what your plant needs, how to solve problems (like yellow leaves or dried-out roots), and how to create an environment where plants thrive better.

The workshop is hands-on: we'll work together with real plants, and I'll provide personalised tips tailored to your home situation. Ideal for beginners or for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of houseplants, herbs, or garden plants.
