Bachelor's Degree from University Of North Florida
Hello Outschool families! My name is Mrs. Christine and I want to welcome you to my classroom! I am so excited to be a part of your learner's experiences on Outschool and look forward to meeting them.
Here is a little about me:
I live in Florida (EST) and have a degree from the University of North Florida, a TESOL Certification, and I homeschooled our daughter for over 14 years!
I have taught many homeschool classes in subjects like reading, writing, science, history, math, and art. I’ve also led story times, hosted tea parties, and coordinated field trips. I’ve taught children from elementary through high school.
I have also taught over 6,000 online ESL (English as a Second Language) courses over the last 7 years to students all over the world and I absolutely love it! I have taught students in 27 countries spread over 5 continents. My favorite thing about teaching online are the relationships that I have been able to make with my students and their families.
I have been married for over 24 years and we have one daughter in college and two cute miniature schnauzers. I spend a lot of my free time playing and snuggling with them. When we aren't playing with the puppies, my family and I enjoy traveling.
I have taught over 2,200 individual classes on Outschool and currently teach ongoing private lessons. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a private 1:1 class or if you don't see a day and time listed that works for you.
I hope to see your learner in the classroom!
Mrs. Christine 💛
