Money Basics
Are you trying to teach your kids about money but aren’t sure where to start? Check out this comprehensive and engaging online holiday course is designed for kids aged 8-12, offering guidance on financial literacy and money management that kids can access from the comfort of their own home. The course comprises engaging activities, games, and quizzes to reinforce learning, making it an interactive and super fun experience for children. Here’s what past students and parents have said:
I learned about investments, the differences between credit and debit cards, budgeting, and how to save money in the long run. The session was very inclusive. Roshan is an excellent teacher who encouraged questions and provided informative responses. The games were both enjoyable and mentally challenging, effectively helping to explain the complex concepts about money. I am really fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend the Money 101 course.
My daughters absolutely loved the Money 101 course. It was fun, interesting and they were able to learn so much. We highly recommend it and look forward to attending more courses.
The class was really fun and interesting there was nothing I didn’t like. My favorite part was the cool websites you showed us. You also taught me the difference between credit and debit. We should totally do this again!
Students leave the course feeling more confident and empowered with a vital life skill.

Creative Writing
The creative writing course is meant to give students a chance to let their imagination take them to new and exciting places we go through the arc of a story, creating believable characters and discussing lots of ideas to improve the quality of their writing. They’ll be given lots of prompts and fun little challenges to stimulate their imagination.
We also explore how ‘good’ writing (if we can even call it that) can take many different forms – there definitely isn’t one way to do things and that’s a bit part of the beauty of creative writing.
I adapt the course and build it around the students’ interests, so there’s the possibility of working on short stories, poems, plays and more based on what they enjoy. One of the main aims is to boost students love and enjoyment of creative writing, so it helps to take it where they want to go!
Stretch your brain Spanish
I grew up in Spain and am bilingual in English and Spanish. I’ve taught Spanish up to GCSE level for a decade and love equipping students with a new skill that can help them grow in confidence and make new friends!
This course will give students a foundation in key Spanish vocabulary and help them begin to have real-life conversations. Learning a new language is great for the brain and is an exciting way to spend part of the summer.
Choosing to be yourself – a self-confidence course for girls
In this course, we explore common ideas around how girls and boys ‘should’ and are expected to behave, and whether this feels true for each of the participants. Most importantly we explore the stories of inspiring women in history and in the present, and consider what this means about students’ own potential, interests, purpose and ambitions.
Students take the time and space to look inward and consider what feels true for them as individuals – something we often find it hard to give them a chance to do at school, given the way the academic system is structured.
Students explore gender inequality by examining and discussing real-life ads, short films and experiments. They also have a chance to create fantastic art projects to raise awareness of the issue of gender inequality; these posters, presentations and initiatives then get shared with students in future iterations of the course. In this way, the course helps students realise their capacity to make a real contribution to an cause they feel strongly about.
