Class Experience

With the challenges of an every changing world, the need for time management, organization and study skills, are becoming more important than ever. Throw in the growing need for stress management at younger and younger ages, you have a well rounded self-paced class just for your pre-teen or teen.

Whether your child is homeschooled, participates in a distance learning program, or in a physical traditional classroom setting, I have designed videos to feel as near to 1-on-1 tutoring that mimic a class being tailored to your child’s situation and needs. 

I will help build confidence and develop a strong love of learning by reenforcing life skills and creating a mindset for success as your child grows and matures with learning how to cope and manage time, organization and study skills.

Through the 4 video lessons, students will learn the concept, watch a video support of the concept and then engage in an interactive activity to practice the concept. 

With this self-paced class, I will check in once a week during the month period that the course runs,  to make sure that things are going well. If requested, anything you upload to the classroom will be given feedback by me within 2 days of being posted. This course is meant to be completed within in 4 weeks. However, with it being a self-paced course, a student and parent can choose how long they will work on the course.

Teacher expertise and credentials
California Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education
I am passionate about teaching!!!

Teaching / Education background: 

In homeschooling my own children, teaching time management and organizational skills is a must from an early age. Additionally, as an online instructor for University, I am constantly reinforcing time management and organizational skills in order to be successful in an online environment. I have also designed and taught self-directed learning classes which focus on having students get to know themselves as learners and finding a skill set that works for them. 


I have twenty plus years of successful experience in teaching, curriculum development, and support of new teachers in various communities and at various grade levels. These communities include both the military and civilian sectors. Grade levels include elementary, secondary, and graduate. Currently, I am an adjunct faculty member, teaching courses for teacher preparation as well as Masters courses  at National University. I also have been homeschooling my own children for the past 15 years. 

I have a Master of Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction from San Diego State University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the same University. I additionally hold a Professional Clear Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (CLAD) from National University with a Supplementary Authorization in Art.
