Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Who doesn't want to be knowledgeable of current events?  When I was a kid, the television sat at the end of the kitchen table and we ate dinner watching the nightly news.  I grew up with an appreciation of global news, not the "who shot who" or the "if it bleeds, it leads" stories from local news, but important global news!  I love recreating this for students of today!  We will review a daily student type news report for 10 minutes, breaking in between each story and discussing the day's news.  There is a heavy emphasis on global stories and science.  This is a great way to start the day, or a break in between subjects, and you will be amazed as your student develops the ability to speak intelligently about current events.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Virginia Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Old Dominion University
Hello!  Are you ready for your kids to have a new, engaging, fun learning experience???  I am a former public school teacher who teaches with fun in mind!  I teach history, current events, science, writing, reading, and of course..math!  My Bachelor's of Science in Education is from Old Dominion University and I scored in the top 98% percentile on the National Teacher's Exam.  I am currently licensed in the state of Virginia.  None of that matters to your kids, so know that I have been referred to as "the best teacher ever!", "favorite teacher", and "pretty cool, for a teacher!"   Not only have I taught kindergarten through 5th grade in public school, I am also part owner of a fun and quirky music and arts shop in my town!  If living on a boat isn't off the beaten path, I have also traveled to three continents and Central America, and currently have checked off all 50 states on my travel list.  I think education is life long and melds into different disciplines.  Looking at history, culture, science, philosophy, literature and arts from several different angles is my specialty.  I also believe that life is short, so we should pack in all the fun and adventure as possible!  Sign your kid up with a class with me, and they will forget that they are learning awesome skills as we have fun!
