About the Teacher
I had the honor of working with students in a variety of educational environments, from preschool to their senior year of high school. Having had a great time participating in gifted programs, he aims to give every kid the same demanding sense of exploration. He wants to create a polite, engaging, and exciting learning atmosphere in the classroom by forming relationships and enjoying every lesson. He graduated from the University of Virginia with a master's degree in the art of teaching, a bachelor's degree in Spanish linguistics, and a minor in religious studies.
About the Course
We are ideal for students who are homeschooled, may not be adequately challenged in the classroom, or who would like hands-on practice using 21st-century thinking techniques. Our mission is to provide gifted education to all students by utilizing resources like debate, problem-based learning, and creative challenges.
The proprietary curriculum developed by me is intended to assist students in gradually enhancing their higher-order and 21st-century thinking abilities. Students are given challenges every week that are tailored to meet certain learning objectives, including strategy, critical thinking, creativity, teamwork, leadership, and persuasion. Leading organizations such as the World Economic Forum have forecast that these competencies will be critical in a future that is changing quickly. Few curricula in schools provide them with the direct training that we feel is necessary.
Research indicates that the most effective approach to honing these abilities is to provide learners with engaging, multifaceted challenges that are appropriate for their level and speed. Teachers that use this learning method are experts at accomplishing this in a playful and age-appropriate manner.
