The goal:
Make learning joyful.
That means learning that involves real-life application and fosters independence. And most of all, learning that makes students forget that they’re even learning - because that’s when the real magic happens.
Offering classes to homeschool co-ops, extra-curricular programs and private groups.
A Progressive Education
I offer progressive enrichment classes for homeschoolers, for students seeking something more than tutoring, or for students who simply want to try learning a different way. Instead of worksheets and tests, I focus on hands-on activities, games and lively discussion as a means of learning - aligning with the natural way a child learns.
Because when learning is fun, students want to keep learning. When learning is creative, students are challenged to think differently. When learning is interesting, students become the initiator of their own learning, rather than the recipient.

My daughter looks forward to these classes every week. After the class, she shares all the wonderful things she has learnt and is actually inspired to learn more. The class has sparked some really amazing new goals and introspective conversations. My daughter has been so much more positive about herself and the world which is an invaluable gift.

Salma is an amazing teacher and is super engaging with the kids. The Great American Road Trip class was my kids favorite class this year. They felt a such a sense of independence being able to plan and navigate their ‘trips’, and they found the writing parts so fun. They usually balk at having to do three lines of writing but for this, they happily spent hours writing stories. The class is a really fun and creative way of teaching them about the different states as well as teaching them how to budget and deal with all sorts of unexpected situations!
