我的邮件：
Dear Karen,
I am a mother from Singapore. I am interested in your online mentessori course for mothers and teachers. However, after reading the information on your webside, I still have some questions which I want to clarify with you.
1. I know that the standard duration is 2 years, then how many lessons there will be, and how long for each lesson, how often the lesson will be conducted?
2. What materials you will provide after enrollment, I have seen the table of contents for each subject, so the materials with real contents will be distributed, won't they?
3. How does a lecture look like? it is an online video which can be downloaded, or just a textbook and we only read ourselves
4. if I need to teach my child in the future, i need to buy those teaching tools, right? How and where I can buy those tools and what about the price?
5. How do I pay for the course? After I pay, what shall I get?
Look forward to your reply
Thanks a lot

Hi，
I have 4 students enrolled for the March 1st course from Singapore.
I will try and answer your questions below:
1. Yes, the standard track takes 2 years and the FAST TRACK takes 12 months. Both classes are the same except you will have two sets of album presentations sent to you every week. You will be able to understand what you are sent every week by looking at the syllabus for both standard and FAST TRACK that I have attached to this email.
2. During the course you will receive the set of Montessori Albums (12 of them) which are sent to you by PDF through email or posted on our classroom site. Each presentation/lesson that is in the album starts with a list of materials needed for that lesson.
There are a lot of support forms and a lot of ideas on how to substitute materials for something less expensive...also how to make your own inexpensively. I give you hundreds of cards and support forms for you to print out and use instead of having to go and purchase them online or in stores.
3.. The lectures/papers/etc. are written. After you read them, we all comment, questions and discuss them either by posting on the message board on our classroom site or by sending me email.
4. On the classroom site I list many places where you can purchase Montessori materials if you choose to do so. Also, Alison's Montessori gives my students a discount when they enter a code word given to you at the beginning of class. As with all toys and learning materials, the prices will vary and the shipping costs will vary. The good news is that most of my students all over the world have been able to put together what they need. I have students that use what they have around the house and town....they don't have a lot of money to spend it on materials. I have students that buy everything. 60% of my students are moms that wish to work with their children at home.
5. Most students pay with either PayPal or Amazon...here are the instructions to make it easy for you:
www.paypal.com and send funds in US Dollars to karen@amontessorimarketplace.com
or
www.amazon.com and send an email gift card in US Dollars to quiltedthreadhead@yahoo.com
If you pay the $150 up front (student discount) between now and March 1st, you have the option of requesting to have your albums sent to you in pdf format (email box to email box). Just let me know if you would like your albums sent upon receipt of payment. I have been sending out dozens of albums for the past two weeks. The albums alone are sold on Alison's Montessori for $350...so you are getting a HUGE bargain for this type of course for the price.
The class is filling up so I hope to hear from you soon.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate in contacting me.
Blessings,
Karen
