Hi, I’m Ms Riot, an experienced classroom teacher specializing in small-group online
classes for home-educated teens. I teach ELA subjects like spelling, grammar, book
studies, comprehension and writing units, as well as some math, history, RE, art and
science classes. My lessons help students build essential skills and develop
confidence and the teens I work with benefit from exploring core content often
taught in lower grades. This allows a safe space to give things a try and experience
success to build and grow from.

🌈I am passionate about helping teens strengthen core skills to succeed. This can
often mean applying the content and skills often covered in lower-grade levels,
allowing teens to develop skills and confidence by meeting them where they are.

🌈I focus on building confidence and foundational skills in a nurturing and
empowering environment. I help teens master core concepts, overcome academic
challenges, and develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.

🌈At the heart of my teaching philosophy lies a belief that learning should be an
adventure, sprinkled with curiosity. We can be serious about learning without it
always being too serious.

🌈I am a teacher who welcomes all students exactly as they are. I have a lot of
experience with neurodivergent children and am a neurodivergent adult myself.
Cameras can be turned off if preferred (after a quick hello with the camera on).

🌈I create quite low-demand classroom experiences. I encourage and welcome
participation, but am very quick to adapt to learners who are unable or unwilling to
partake in an obvious and active manner. This can mean only using the chat, or even
only listening.
