Hello everyone, my name is Teacher Christine, it is nice to meet you all! :). I have been a teacher with SOAR KIDZ for almost two and a half years, and I am enjoying it a lot! Before I started working for SOAR KIDZ, I was a fourth grade teacher for several years, that is until Covid forced me to look for alternatives to teaching in a regular brick and mortar school. I believe in being patient with students, and to meet them on their level. If a student is new and feels too anxious to talk, I encourage them to use other forms of communication- type your answer in the chat, use hand signals, Zoom emojis...you cannot not communicate. What I enjoy most about SOAR KIDZ classes are the interactions and discussions with the students. It makes me proud to see a student standing up for their opinion and to openly disagree with me when they believe their argument is stronger during a debate. My book recommendation is a classic- Matilda by Roald Dahl. The magic of the story and the transformation from a shy, neglected girl to a confident and happy one is not only wonderful to follow, but also shows students who might have a similar home life: You are not alone.
