-The top of the page is adorned with a banner showing a round face, pleasant looking yellow avian in red horn-rimmed glasses holding up a generic paper with a gold star on it- *An audio message has been attached, when this page is opened it starts to play. It is just a reading of what is typed with additional interactions to kick the 'gold star' to leave her a message and meet up in person. There is also a small gold star then, when clicked, goes directly to a page that will record an audio message.* Out in the vastness of space a proper education can be hard to obtain. Rather then waiting for students to come to me I have taken to the stars to find them instead. My goal is to educate as many people as possible regardless of race and do my best to leave a positive mark on every mind I touch. My name is Parida Ophia and I'm a traveling teacher. I teach elementary and remedial level classes in most subjects and have access to a multitude of different curriculum plans spanning all major languages! My degree is in elementary education and was obtained from a major Avian college. Volunteer work in classrooms was a requirement for my degree and I've worked with most every race including floran. I've also taken classes specifically on adult remedial education for those wishing to further their knowledge or who were never given a chance before now. Prices depend on how many courses you with to take and the level they will be. There is a minimum down payment of 1,000 pixels on the specialized tablet device that will be your work and textbook. All texts and workbook programs will be part of your course cost. Once you have completed all of the classes you'd like to take and have returned the tablets you will be refunded your 2000 pixels. If the device is damaged there may be deductions. These tablets allows me to grade and monitor your work without regular physical meet-ups and even assist you with problems as you work on them. I do offer lectures both over video and in person when needed as well as 1x1 tutoring sessions. Tutoring sessions can be done at any safe location you'd like and lectures will often be held when multiple students are in need of additional information and held on the same subject. I offer several payment plans if needed. My belief is that everyone deserves an education, if money is the only thing keeping you from one we can find a compromise. Clicking on the above banner with send you to my netpage and you may contact me from there to discuss a possible enrollment or if you are simply curious about my courses or curriculum. I find it best to explain things personally rather then put a up a general list that may confuse or frighten away anyone. It gives me a chance to more deeply explain the courses. If there are any local schools in the area with open positions I would be willing to consider it. They may contact me through my netpage as well. Any general questions not directly about the things I've stated may be asked here. Thank you! -Parida Ophia ((Students will need to give regular updates on their workbook progress. You can make them as in-depth as you want an in OCC or in some other IC format if you'd like. I won't be writing out actual problems and such for the workbooks but can give a vague idea of what each section is about as it comes to them. If you really want I can find some worksheets online for you to do but I'm assuming no one really wants to do that. A lack of updates will be taken as generally not working on their work unless you seem to have not been online at all. Real life happens. I understand that. Video lectures and tutoring would be written out in private forum messages or in a chat format. I may later make a chatroom on some website(Suggestion?) specifically for those. Or they can be implied and typed out in one message but not actively played out if needed. The same goes for face-to-face UNLESS it is in a public place where others may hear or be involved(ex. bar, public park, etc...)! In which case that will be scheduled as best as possible. Payment can be done in voxels preferably but if you only roleplay out transactions I can be lenient. Most courses will be about 2k for the complete course with additional courses being cheaper. That includes all text-book and any amount of tutoring and help. To be honest I'm having a hard time setting a price so if anyone things that's totally preposterous I can change it up until actually getting any students. So hard to price things on here.))
((I spent awhile debating wether this should go in the market thread of starnet general but I saw other people selling 'services' while starnet general seemed to have a lot of hiring. If it needs to be moved that's fine. Apologies if this isn't the appropriate place.))
[[JR]] About time. Please, please begin educating those kartaaking floran. I'm tired of hearing their stupid on the radio.
Be grateful for what you have and kind to other races, particularly those born into a culture with less opportunities for education then your own. -Parida
I can see this is nothing but an idea filled with the most wonderful of intents to spread knowledge throughout the stars, which is the most invaluable tool anyone can have at their disposal. I however can not see it working at all, perhaps I'm a pessimist. Don't get yourself attacked or killed by the labotomites you generously assist. I would hate to see another learned mind be spilled from a skull through unappreciated selflessness. Mental aptitude doesn't carry one as far as a much too large weapon does nowadays..
Wonderful, just them my way and I'll see what I can do. That sounds more like a job for a programmer or robotics specialist? I'm not sure there's much I could do for you there, dear. I've found with many violent people being treated kindly is something foreign to them and are much less likely to attack someone who has treated them nicely. Teaching through kind measures and positive reinforcement is the only way to get through to those types though you must hold your ground. I've heard my share of threats but I've always talked them down. I prefer not to carry weaponry but I have my means of defense if needed. Thank you for your concern though. I'll do my best to be safe and continue my good work. -Parida
Alright, well, if you have any questions message me above and we can figure things out and get you started as soon as possible. I can happily answer any further questions you have.
Do you have any courses open on the vivisection or dissection of sentient races? Its not for work, just more of a hobby. - IronTide
As wonderful as this may be to educate the sorry masses out there, isn't your advertisement flawed by requiring prospective students to already know how to read and type to be aware of and respond to your services? Dr. Mizu Suimaa
You are missing the point. If they do not possess these skills, how is a written advertisement they must respond to with typing going to direct them to her? -Dr. Mizu Suimaa
Well, you raise a good point there, But it's not like she can't try other methods, like radio advertising and adding an audio file. That's what I suggeat to her anyways. -SativaRN
No dear I'm afraid I don't offer any courses like that. If you truly want to continue this hobby perhaps look into a medical school. Or some kind of other help. At the most my biology course has a virtual frog dissection simulator, but it's an 'optional' lesson. Oh! Actually I do have an intended plan. I just haven't set up any kind of radio broadcast, as well as visiting as many colonies as possible. This is just my formal advertisement. I'm still getting familiar with this little section of space. But thank you for your concern! An audio post attached to this may be a good idea. I'll see if I can't come up with something. I was more hoping this advertisement would cause some word of mouth but you do all make a very good point. Really I do appreciate all your suggestions. From all of you. Well, if you'd like to take some classes just message me. Or if it's easier we can meet and talk it over. Oh that got a tad long. Hopefully I didn't miss anyones questions in there.
-Upton S. Fullwood- Do you have any courses on physics and electrical systems? I'd have to get some money... But, I might as well try something new.
I don't teach many specialized courses. As I stated my degree is more in elementary level but I also have taken classes myself on adult remedial classes. I do have a physics course but it is of about a grade 11 to 12 level by avian terms if that is what you are looking for. -Parida
