Pomodoro Study Sessions

Started

💙🫶⭐Hey guys! Come study with me in this helpful series! I love attending Pomodoro sessions since they help me a whole lot when I want to study for a specific amount of time due to my struggles with procrastination. So, I thought, 'Why not start my own series because I know for sure I am not the only one who goes through this 😅!' I will mostly (not sure yet) host sessions after 4PM EST because that is when I start studying individually. 💙🫶⭐

  • I sometimes hold sessions on weekends after 1PM EST upon request.

I'll make the series as long as possible!
I enjoy hosting longer sessions because I tend to get deeply involved in my work. 👀 ...

My goal for this series is to help others and myself work productively and to reduce procrastination with the Pomodoro timer 💙!

Note: This is not meant to be an interactive open tutoring for help on completing assignments (though we will try to help if you need it), therefore it is not going to seem that interactive. The whole point is to work in a motivating environment with other learners to help complete assignments. It will not seem to be that interactive as we don't want to ask a bunch of questions which can potentially bother our learners. Although you will be working and doing other things mostly on your own, this is meant to be a helpful and motivating environment for doing such. This is somewhat similar to setting up a timer at home but with this one can not only get extra minutes but also you can be in a more helpful, encouraging, and motivating environment with other learners that will most likely be a lot more effective with getting your work done. This can be very helpful with procrastination and setting times to get your work done with us. Not everyone is able to have or join a study group and this is especially great for them.

We are open to more Co-hosts! Feel free to apply regardless of experience and you can earn hours! :)
  • Hannah became a Co-host on 03/21/2024.
  • Noah became a Co-host on 03/26/2024.

ASL 101: A crash course on silent communication

2nd session

Deaf, hard of hearing, and mute people communicate with the world a bit differently. Here in the USA/Canada they use ASL: American Sign Language.

I'm here to teach the same way you learn a language it's 100% in ASL visually with supplemental information in the chat and on slides. Basically, I will not be speaking at all. Don't worry though! This is the best way to learn.

**I am deaf but I will be able to hear you, so if you ask questions on the mic I can respond**

We'll cover the ASL alphabet, number system and basic conversational signs! 🤟

  • If you need help on any topic, let me know! I'd be happy to set up a session with you if I am certified. If not, I can recommend Schoolhouse sessions for you.

✨study group✨

Starts

Hey everyone! ❤ Let's study together and get all the work we have completed. I am starting this series because I work much much better with other people and feel more motivated when I know others are working along with me 😂

✨We will be using the pomodoro technique using timers -- I can get some music in the background as well!

✨This is the perfect space for you to be held accountable and to hold others accountable so all of us can successfully get the things we've been procrastinating completed.

✨I will be adding more sessions to the series as we go along and I will be hosting pretty long sessions so that we can continue with the "flow".

✨Turning on videos is optional but highly recommended.

✨If you would like to co-host, let me know, and we can set up sessions with more
timings!

Abstract Algebra Crash Course

12th session

We'll take a brief look at one of the first courses you will take in university if you would like to become a math major. We will begin with the fundamentals—learning some basic set theory, working with complex numbers, and setting the definitions of rings and fields. Then we'll prove some intuitive things that we know about number theory and modular arithmetic (i.e. working with remainders). From there we will generalize our methods to other areas, such as doing "number theory" and "modular arithmetic" with polynomials and much more! No calculus knowledge is necessary for this series; however, high-school Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 are necessary. (BTW do you know that this series would be called "Algebra 1" in university?? 😂😜)

Holiday Celebration Trivia (Blooket and GimKit)

3rd session

Join us in celebrating holidays from around the world with fun trivia! 🎊🌍🎊
Dive into the festivities with engaging questions and occasional informative videos, offering a unique opportunity to explore both well-known and lesser-known celebrations.

The dates for these sessions aren't fixed, as I aim to schedule them based on the most convenient timing shortly beforehand, and they are subject to change. We'll communicate any adjustments and availability in the group chat, so I suggest engaging with it to some extent. Additionally, expect more meetings than those currently listed, as I typically add them just a few days in advance.

  • Co-hosts are welcome to join, edit, host, and contribute to this series if they wish. :)

I'm looking forward to celebrating with everyone! 🎉🥳🎉

Hey there! I'm one of the co-founders of Schoolhouse, and I was also homeschooled through the end of high school. In this session, I'll kick off by sharing a little bit about my transition to college as a homeschooler, and everyone in the group will also share their own experiences and questions about transitioning out of homeschool.

Note: This session is designed for people who are homeschooled, or who have some experience homeschooling. If you are not homeschooled but you'd like to learn about it, please feel free to DM me and I can try to run more sessions about this in the future!

  • Learning about mental health

4:00 PM - 5:00 PM

You can vent about your problems and discuss stress in this session without judgment with the hosts being Me and Sneha. We can not talk about things when venting other than stress and school. We will also be teaching about mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, overthinking, etc.

RULES:
Judgement about other learner's issues is strictly prohibited. This is a safe space for people to talk about problems they are having and it is everyone's job to help create that judgement-free environment.

No private/personal information should be shared [email, social media handles, school names, names of people in your personal life, etc.] If any personal information is shared, you will be reported.

No advice should be given to other learners about their issues. Should any advice be given, it must be generic and not specific to the situation the learner is facing.

DISCLAIMER: The tutors of this series are NOT therapists/doctors/mental health specialists and are therefore not qualified to give any sort of advice about the issue being faced. Any discussion about a general mental health issues should NOT be used in place of a medical diagnosis/medication/advice from a healthcare professional.

  • Let's Talk About Stress

7:15 PM - 8:15 PM

I have been seeing people posting things about how stressful college searches are going and how emotionally tolling high school can be. Everyone needs a safe space to let them express their emotions (bottling them up is super unhealthy for you. Trust me, I know) This will be a place where you can just rant about everything that has been bothering you lately. This is a zero judgement allowed session, so you are safe to talk freely about your feelings. This can be sort of like a group therapy session. Please don't consider this as a legitimate therapy. We are just talking, I am not capable nor authorized to diagnose anything or offer any treatments. Sorry if that last sentence was weird, I just don't want anyone to be misinformed.
