ONLINE CLASSES
Individual Classes:
there is one child in the class and the teacher follows the child’s individual ability to engage and learn. The focus is on the child’s way of thinking and doing and the relationship between the child and the teacher.
Group Classes:
students of mixed ages, minimum 2 students and maximum 5 students in the group. The teacher facilitates group connections and the ways of interacting among the children. The focus is on the learning through social interaction.
Before I add a student to the group, I do an evaluation on Zoom and then I create the most appropriate group where students’ abilities and talents will be maximised. I will be observing the relations and chemistry between the students at all times and I may make a decision of a group change where needed.
Age 5-11:
Registration Criteria: As a guardian, you book a free discovery session, where we will discuss the expectations and the child’s individual talents. You child will be accepted according to age and ability to individual or group classes in the recognition of the UK Key Stage 1 (age 5-7) and Key Stage (7-11). After the discovery session, you will be able to book a package of classes responding best to the student’s needs.
Methods: While following the UK National Curriculum guidelines on skills and knowledge required on each school level, the teacher creates classes through PLAY, so the mind and the body is engaged at the same time and the learning outcomes are met holistically with the student in the centre. Classes are delivered in an interdisciplinary manner, which means that all subjects are interwoven (English is taught simultaneously with Maths, Geography, Science, Art) and there is no distinction between them. Students become fully immersed in an activity and the required skills are developed from one activity to another across a period of time.
Special request: There is an option of choosing a subject specific course, if the student needs it. It will be discussed in our discovery session.
Length: classes are delivered in 2 hour blocks with shorts breaks for snacks. I observe the children’s academic and physical capacity and adjust to their own mind/body rhythm.
Age 11-16:
Registration Criteria: As a guardian, you book a free discovery session, where we will discuss the expectations and the child’s individual talents. You child will be accepted according to age and ability to individual or group classes in the recognition of the UK Key Stage 2 (age 11-14) and Key Stage (14-16). After the discovery session, you will be able to book a package of classes responding best to the student’s needs.
Methods: While following the UK National Curriculum guidelines on skills and knowledge required on each school level, the teacher creates classes around topics of interest and applies holistic methods of teaching which are unique and adjusted to the students’ own pace. In this way, students become involved in the learning process from the outset in their full intellectual, somatic and mental capacity because they are curious and want to understand the complexity of the topic, solve problems, and find solutions.
Subject specific classes can be delivered, if there is such request. It will be discussed in a discovery session. At the moment the following subjects are delivered to Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3:
- English Language
- English Literature
- Drama
- Sociology
- History
- Art
STEM subjects will be delivered in 2021 by subject experts.
Length: classes are 1.5 hour long without a break, but individual ability to concentrate the of each student will be respected at all times.
All classes are recorded for safety purposes. All data collection complies with GDPR laws. Recordings are stored for 2 years and deleted after that.
