I attended a 3-day conference this weekend.
It was amazing.
I laughed. I cried. I cheered. I made all the ridiculous cartoon character sounds my students love and my husband chuckles at. I connected with incredible people from all over the world. I grew so much as a person and as an educator.
And I didn't even have to do my hair and put on makeup.
And this incredible event, it got me thinking.
So today's episode is going to be a little bit different from the rest.
Because it's important to me to connect with and serve families who share my values around learning. Your vibe attracts your tribe, they say, right?
So today's episode is on the 3 pillars of my philosophy on learning.

If you're homeschooling due to COVID19 and are choosing to teach your child yourself instead of outsourcing your lessons, chances are you'll be needing some help to make them interesting and to craft some real-life word problems.
And likely, you'll also hear "But when am I going to use this subject in real life?!" quite a few times in your own classroom.
So today's episode is on different school topics across various subjects and their real-world applications. Basically, how to make the STEM subjects interesting.

An experienced tutor can be flexible and take it in stride if there are sudden changes to their planned lesson. But that doesn't mean we don't have a dream of what we wish all lessons were like! Of course, 1:1 homeschooling and homeschool pod support are a different scenario since the daily lessons are longer, but when it comes to typical tutoring, my perfect tutoring lesson with a student would go something like this: 60 minutes homework or review 05 minutes break 45 minutes cover new material or practice problems 05 minutes structured free time 05 minutes of debrief with the parents If you are looking to hire a tutor for your child for this upcoming school year, you can book your free Academic Success Call right on The Learning Corner's website: services.tutorintinseltown.com/TLC

I've worked with so many homeschool and virtual school families and I have to tell you, those fears you have about homeschooling your child: they are real, and they are valid concerns. I've likely seen every one of your fears play out at one time or another with one or more of my families.

Do they have tons of friends and opportunities for positive social interactions?
Or do they dread it?

What is the biggest chunk of time that you consider an awkward amount of time? You know what I'm talking about, when you have some time free that you consider too short to really accomplish a task but long enough that you might feel guilty if you just sit and do nothing. So what is that amount of time for you? 10 minutes? 30 minutes? an hour?
And more importantly, how long is that chunk of time for your child?
Today we're talking about the hidden value of an "awkward amount of time."
