My Story
I home schooled my two children independently for 12 years in all subject areas, graduating them from high school with college credits and degrees. Since then, and concurrent with educating them, I have been tutoring and instructing small group classes of home schooled, private schooled, and charter children since 2012 through various venues such as independent online classes, charter enrichment center classes, and private school classes.
My strengths lie in Grammar, Writing and Language Arts (English & Latin), however, I find myself comparably skilled in math and science. I offer tutoring and instruction in a broad range of subjects, including, but not limited to First Year Latin, English Grammar, IEW Writing Structure and Style, Lost Tools of Writing, Traditional and Formal Logic, Mathematics, Science, and in the discipline of many arts.
Over the past several years, I have successfully shifted my instruction format to an online venue. Embracing useful technology and teaching or tutoring remotely as needed has been problem free. Employing out-of-the-box approaches, I have written and produced songs with music to aid students in memorization of material across various subjects, and I have created much of my own curriculum as the need arises.
Having an undergraduate degree in Health Sciences, Social Sciences, and Science and Mathematics, as well as a board certification in Health and Wellness Coaching and a Master of Science in Nutrition, I often integrate my anatomy, biochemistry, and nutrition knowledge into my instruction. In the past, I have folded my cooking knowledge into classes as well — for example, with “Chemistry in the Kitchen,” I incorporated lessons of chemistry into the food preparation process.
Integrating many modalities of teaching with hands-on approaches and Socratic dialogue, I have enjoyed teaching multiple age groups for nearly twenty years now, including homeschooling my own children. I believe knowledge is power, thus knowledge should be sought — understanding that the ultimate reward is freedom.
