@patriciab101999 @YEPeducation Literally the only good thing that’s come out of dealing with customers 😂

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

For the final week, I allowed my dad to pick the final lesson. Turns out, he wanted to learn how to perfect fold his clothes! I guess working in retail has its perks. @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

@DCTriumbari @YEPeducation Honestly 😂

@MissLauraZYEP @YEPeducation With everything going on in the world, this is a great way to stay alert and safe. I especially like that you were able to teach her new skills you weren’t aware she needed. Sometimes unplanned lessons are the most useful!

@YEPCassidy @YEPeducation Especially with the second lockdown, Netflix marathons are an absolute must! I adore holiday films. What are some classics that you two intend on watching? 🙂

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@IqraG_YEP @YEPeducation I’m really glad to hear that you’ve helped your grandma find alternative ways to stay connected to loved ones! Plus it’ll be a nice way to pass the time during lockdown.

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@BhanjiNatasha @YEPeducation Wow! This sounds so fun. How did your dad enjoy it?

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@YEPCassidy @YEPeducation Thank you!! He preferred the Waze app over Google maps, I find that other apps tend to direct you through more complex & longer roads 😅

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

This week, I taught my dad how to use Waze. I considered it would be helpful due to the increased traffic in my area because of the never ending Eglinton construction 😂. We focused on searching for destinations and driving to various places. @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

For this weeks lesson, I got my dad to practice using Waze again on his own but this time, I asked him to input traffic jams, road closures and police sightings into the app to help other drivers. @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@VanessacYEP @YEPeducation Wow this looks fun & delicious! I like how you incorporate different lesson plans that are easy to follow every week 🙂

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@YEPCassidy @YEPeducation It’s great how you’ve not only taught her the shopping component but also what to do when something you order isn’t what you expected it to be!

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@YepDominika @YEPeducation It’s great how you’re focusing on the oral speaking component with your grandma and differentiating between the sentence structures as it can be tricky 🙂 keep it up

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@lisa_macnevin @YEPeducation I think it’s really helpful that you made the questions easy to read for your mom and straight to the point!

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@LolaRYEP @YEPeducation I really like the way you organized your questions based on a scale of whether your mom is able to complete tasks independently. Great work!

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

This is the self-assessment survey I created for my dad. It consists of easy questions that allow me to check in and see where he’s at so far. It also helps me to plan lessons accordingly to his needs and goals. @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@MissLauraZYEP @YEPeducation This is such an informative lesson! Do you plan on cooking any meals next week?

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@AmandaGYEP @YEPeducation This is such a fun and interesting lesson Amanda! Do you intend on teaching your mom how to photograph portraits?

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@YEPCassidy @YEPeducation As an avid online shopper myself, this is such a useful way to avoid having to go to shopping malls and deal with the long lineups as well. I would suggest adding Shoptagr or Honey for some discounts as well!

[Melissa @MelissaOYEP]

@mrbelli @YEPeducation Honey is such a great and useful tool, I use it all the time myself! I’m sure your mom will enjoy seeing all the money she’s saving
