Teaching Maths, Science, and Language in the Garden (ideal for teachers that want to get out of the classroom).
course price icon
Von 39 € /Std
arrow icon
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
Zusätzliche Informationen
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.

Über mich
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.

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.

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.)

English and Spanish teacher and have a Master's degree in Education from the National University of San Antonio Abad of Cusco. My diploma has been apostilled and subsequently officially translated into German for the Swiss System. I have been teaching English and Spanish in private schools, from A1 to C2 level, for seven years. I have experience in teaching students with different cognitive skills or difficulties to process the information received and also have the ability to teach a language without the need to use any word in other languages unless required. Not only have I given Spanish Grammar and conversation lessons, but focused on Anthropology, Cultural expressions and Literature. Besides teaching, I have translated material for lessons, Spanish-English English-Spanish, and interpreted Spanish-English and English-Spanish during health campaigns and social projects in rural communities with San Blas Spanish School. In Peru, I worked for the University of Sheffield, from England, supporting a researcher in translating interviews English-Spanish and Spanish-English and interpreting when interviewing local people. I have an A2 level in German from the Peruvian-German Cultural Association ACUPARI, licensed by the Goethe-Institut.

Abundant harvests and visual pleasure guaranteed in all terrains and all climates.

I adapt to many situations thanks to my professional experience (CFC Market Gardening) and amateur experience (food vegetable gardens for 10 years).

Online or on site, I can come to you if you cover the cost of public transport.

Beginners or advanced, I offer you advice according to your project, but I can also provide you with suggestions and cultivation plans.
