About

Welcome, my dear knowledge seekers, this shall be exciting for you!

We will be hosting a series of sessions talking about the origin of the names for the seven days of the week(Sunday to Saturday), the twelve months(January to December), and the twelve Chinese years(mouse to pig...sounds funny?). 

Of course, a session will mainly have three parts: Days of the week, Months, and Chinese years. Additionally, I will be creating question kits from Gimkit.com related to the topics covered in our series and we can play them together both for fun and for refreshing our memory!

The time for the main sessions will be set for Sunday AND Tuesday 6:30-7:30 pm EST, with the addition of activity time such as playing Gimkit review games on Wednesday or Thursday 6:30-7:30 pm EST.

I look forward to seeing you in our session and promise that you will have a splendid experience!

Additionally, I am looking for one or two co-hosts for this series with the following qualifications:
1. You have some prior knowledge on these topics, at least the origin of weeks and months (the Chinese years part will be mainly my topic to prepare)
2. You are already an experienced tutor (have been a tutor for at least one month)
3. You can be sure that you will be free at the time written above.
4. You are comfortable working with people from all backgrounds.
(Message me privately if you are interested in applying, via Schoolhouse or Slack)

Tutor Qualifications

I had been obsessed with Greek, Roman, Norman, and Chinese mythologies from a young age and would like to share it with anyone that is interested!

I have learned the origins already and was familiar with them.
