Drawing from my experience in preparing my own children for independence, Adulting 102 is designed to empower teens with the knowledge and confidence needed for a successful transition to adult life. 🎥 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: With engaging video lessons and interactive activities, teens can learn on their own schedule 🕒🏠. Each lesson features 1-2 video lessons, guided notes, and practical enrichment opportunities. I generally respond within 24 hours, but I also set aside time to review enrichment activities every Friday and Sunday, providing guidance and feedback in this flexible self-paced format.

I have been teaching teens for over 25 years and hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance in addition to degrees in English, Writing, Music, and a Master’s Degree in Education. My courses are designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world financial skills, addressing the lack of practical resources available to prepare teens for their financial futures.
Throughout my teaching career, I have developed courses focused on equipping learners with essential skills such as budgeting, understanding credit, managing debt, navigating taxes, and planning for major life milestones like renting an apartment or buying a car. My approach emphasizes real-life applications, ensuring that learners not only understand the concepts but also feel confident applying them in everyday situations!
I am passionate about empowering teens to make informed financial decisions and take charge of their futures. My teaching style is patient and encouraging, with a focus on simplifying complex topics into manageable, actionable steps. These courses are designed for all types of learners and abilities, offering a supportive environment where learners can gain practical knowledge and build confidence in their financial skills.
