My classes are specifically designed for highly intelligent students, to keep them engaged, expand their knowledge horizons and prepare them for our changing world.
Honestly, school can be boring for those who are highly gifted. The work is easy, they can be way ahead of their peers, and it can lead to highly intelligent students becoming disenchanted and despondent in regards to their studies, which can of course hamper their ability to reach their potential. My classes are designed to change that, by feeding their brains new concepts and new perspectives, we can keep your students' curiosity, potential, and ability expanding.
Check out my three core types of classes and see which one best fits your learner:
Students are introduced to a range of concepts and Philosophers across time, and from many different countries (Topics like: Time, the Meaning of Life, Simulation Theory, Love, Power). Then we engage in a flowing discussion. There are no wrong answers! Students are simply supported to build their critical thinking skills, deepen their arguments, expand their horizons, organise and communicate their thoughts clearly and effectively.
10–13Myths are more than just stories, through them learners explore history, geography, cultures, and what it means to be human. Older learners will begin to decipher the life lessons our ancestors wanted us to have, whilst incorporating ELA Skills.
YoungerThere's a lot of life that formal education leaves out: who you are, money, picking good friends, handling rejection, making decisions. This is an informal class to check in on a week-to-week basis, about learners' goals, and equipping them for whichever world they will enter as adults; and ensuring they begin their journey of adulthood, strong, centred and knowing who they are. We look at a range of life skills from many great humans, learners are free to take what they need from them, and leave what they don't.
