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

Àpd 65.09 C$ /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

Informations supplémentaires

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.

Présentation

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

63.42 C$ /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.

65.09 C$ /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).

FLE teacher, graduated from UCO in my hometown, Angers.
I taught in Scotland, Finland and Russia (10 years total), and now in Brussels for the EU.

My teaching methods are based on active pedagogy: constant interaction, a large variety of activities to keep it dynamic, and a bit of fun!
It is very important to me that my students feel stimulated, supported and are happy with their results.

During lessons, I use articles, videos, songs, interviews ... to make the grammatical aspect feel less scholastic and more to the point, and to the cultural dimension at the same time!

(I speak French, English, Russian, have a good understanding of German and have started learning Spanish.)

Thanks to my major and experiences, I have taught Chinese and English in a private coaching form for more than 3 years. I have also obtained a Putonghua proficiency certificate (Level 2-A), and two master’s degrees in Education from both VUB in Belgium and Tongji university in China.
As for the teaching method, basically, I follow the ADDIE model in the teaching process which are Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. However, no pressure on that! I believe that methods are just tools for the student to understand better and reach learning objectives. I fully respect students’ personal needs, interests and objectives. Based on that, we can explore the most useful, interesting and efficient method of learning together!

Chemistry is one of the favourite subjects.
Learn at an AFFORDABLE PRICE
Learning organic to many students still proved to be difficult and I have even seen many of my friends dropped the subject.
So, I want to share my knowledge and experience to students that are facing difficulty in science subjects especially CHEMISTRY.
I assure you that I will try to make chemistry a walk in the park for everyone who wants to learn the art of chemistry.
Students studying for O-Level and A-Level are welcomed as well as grade 9 students from Mauritius.

The course is dedicated to children from 8-10 to young adult till 30. Main patient/student are typically overrepresented female 15-25, filling lost (sometime depressed) by a missing life project (Professionnel, Education or Personnal).

*STEP 1*
After a fisrt discussion, about the current situation, issues ( incl addiction, psychiatric errance diagnostic, ADHA, Anxiety disorder, or something mental that prevent you to escape from a mind circle) I give my first impression regarding my background.

Then, according to the suspected issue, this must be confirmed by other professionnal if needed, from psychologist to neurologist, from psychological objective measuring (test) to psysiological analysis (blood, brain waves, psychotropic issue, etc...)

*STEP 2*
Whatever is the issue, many choice can address it. Toogether, we establish the "scope of choice". I will fight against your auto-censorship to consider possible choices regarding your native skills (soft skills). NO CHOICE AT THIS STEP. The scope of choice MUST be as wide as possible, considering even what you did consider as out of option.

*STEP 3*
Me alone, or toogether, I create a tree choice. The question will be transformed to questions, with only 2 choices, at each step

*STEP 4*
Let's check what's at the end of the pyramid (potentially several choice)

*STEP 5*
Action plan

*STEP 6*
Action (with support if needed)

*STEP 7*
Failed ? Go to STEP 4 an try again

*STEP 8*
Thank a divinity if you beleive in it as it give you the force,
and please, thanks me I did contributed for a better life. The money is nothing comparing to interhuman recognition. That is the true value, for 5000 years... Unfortunately forgoten nowadays...

– Ce que ton chien a besoin d’apprendre pour être plus calme et relax dans toutes les situations (eh oui, il peut l’apprendre même s’il est vieux, têtu ou tout jeune).

Je l’apprends à tous mes chiens, même ceux qui ne sont pas « difficiles » pour qu’ils ne développent pas de mauvais comportements.

– Quel entrainement progressif à mettre en place pour que ton chien arrive à choisir de ne pas aboyer ou courir après les jogueurs ou les vélos....

... même s’il est super excité ou anxieux ?

(tu vas apprendre la méthode pour qu’il arrive aujourd’hui à réagir instantanément aux ordres même quand il voit un autre chien ou qu’il est excité... alors qu’il était super zinzin du jouet et agressif avec les autres chiens.
C’est quelque chose que j’ai aussi mis en place avec des centaines de chiens, de toutes races, qui avaient tous des parcours de vie différents)

– Le niveau de ton chien, très souvent oubliés, à connaitre absolument pour avoir des résultats rapides et efficaces avec ton chien.

L'autorité n'est pas "l'autoritarisme", elle n'est pas non plus le "pouvoir".
Avec des exemples simples issus d'une rencontre de football (ou de tout autre sport), je vais, au moyen de livrets pédagogiques ( Football et République, Code des stades, Lexofoot) vous permettre de comprendre ce qu'est réellement 'l'Autorité ; comment elle s'exerce, comment vous y conformer plus sereinement, comment la restaurer au sein de votre famille, de votre entreprise, de votre association, de votre administration, de vos amis, de vos actes quotidien les plus banals.
La prise de conscience de cet élément fondamental va redonner à votre vie un sens plus apaisé et plus apaisant.
Il va surtout vous orienter sur la voie d'une réussite personnelle qui a toute les chances d'influencer profondément et durablement votre vie professionnelle.

Hello! I'm David, a Colombian from Medellín. I am a young professional in literary studies and a Spanish teacher for foreigners. In addition to my degree, I hold a diploma in teaching Spanish and have three years of experience teaching at a school in Medellín, Colombia.

In our first class, the goal is to assess your current level and determine the best learning plan for you. Each lesson incorporates three key components: a conversational/oral segment, a grammatical and theoretical section, and a practical application. These three aspects help develop all the necessary skills for mastering a language.

Finally, in the practical component, I design activities based on the artistic and cultural expressions of South American countries. I believe it is important to explore the diverse artistic and cultural manifestations of Latin America because they serve as natural, authentic materials that showcase how people express themselves and use the language in different contexts. Often, this usage can differ from the grammatical rules we learn in class, making it a valuable complement to traditional language instruction.

تعلم اللغة الفرنسية بذكاء ومرح (تأسيس ومناهج مدرسية)

"تعتمد دروسي على جعل اللغة الفرنسية تجربة ممتعة وليس مجرد مادة دراسية. إليكم ما أقدمه في حصصي:

خطة مخصصة: أبدأ بتقييم مستوى الطالب أولاً لتحديد نقاط القوة والضعف وتصميم منهج يناسب احتياجاته.

أسلوب تفاعلي: أستخدم الوسائط البصرية، الألعاب التعليمية، والمحادثات الحية لكسر حاجز الخوف من اللغة.

التركيز على النطق: أهتم جداً بمخارج الحروف والنطق الصحيح (Phonétique) من الحصة الأولى.

دعم المناهج الدولية والمصرية: أساعد الطلاب في فهم دروس المدرسة، حل الواجبات، والتحضير للامتحانات بملخصات بسيطة.

تقارير دورية: أحرص على إطلاع أولياء الأمور على تقدم مستوى أبنائهم بعد كل مرحلة.

Mes cours sont adaptés à tous les niveaux (Débutant à Intermédiaire) avec une approche pédagogique moderne et efficace."
