Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Florida Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts

Master's Degree in Education from Concordia University

I fell in love with teaching because I truly enjoyed watching my students fall in love with learning!  I LOVE sharing the things I love - Theatre, Public Speaking, Words, Games, Communication, Writing, and Life Skills!  I have tons of energy and enthusiasm that is contagious - I make learning fun!

I achieved a life-long dream when I sold my children’s theatre in South Florida to travel the United States in an RV (with my husband, kids, and dog) and teach! We have recently settled down (temporarily) in Las Vegas! 

As a professional actor, director, and producer, I am passionate about the performing arts and the skills students get from participating in it.  As a professional speaker and speech writer, I love to teach students how to effectively find their voice and communicate their message with the world!  I have taught students of all ages - Acting and Directing, Speech & Debate, Public Speaking, SAT Prep, Writing, and various Life Skills like Memory and Goal Setting.  I love my thousands of students across the world - past, present and future!  I am also a Toastmaster and an IEW teacher. I am the founder of the Articulatable Membership!

I have a BA in English, a Minor in Theatre, and a Masters in Education, Curriculum and Instruction.  My years of life and teaching experience make me a great match for many types of learners.

I have 4 kids of my own (ages 28, 26, 14, and 12), an amazing husband (Hugh Coley, who also teaches on Outschool as "Mr. Yo"), an adorable dog, and an amazing life!  I look forward to helping your student fall in love with learning!
