Teacher expertise and credentials
New Mexico Teaching Certificate
Hello- I'm Laurie Bloyer M.Ed., a seasoned educator with over 20 years of experience teaching infants to adults. I am dedicated to empowering students and nurturing their passion for learning.

With a master's degree in Instructional Design and Technology and in Waldorf Education, as well as being an International Baccalaureate educator, I bring a wealth of expertise to provide your child with a rich and engaging educational experience. I focus particularly in the fields of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), Reading/Writing, English as a Second Language, Design Thinking Skills, and Life Skills.

But what sets me apart is my commitment to personalized learning success. I understand that every student is unique, each with their own preferred learning style. That's why I've developed proven strategies to cater to individual needs, helping students become effective, independent learners.

My approach to teaching goes beyond the classroom. I firmly believe in the role of mentorship and guidance in a student's success journey. I'm not just here to impart knowledge; I'm dedicated to nurturing your child's personal and professional growth.

My belief is that students need a strong set of tools in their toolkit in order to be ready for the future, these can include: collaboration, communication, organization, time management, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.

These skills have been honed through years of guiding students and collaborating with colleagues to create engaging and effective learning environments.
