Teacher expertise and credentials
My name is Andrea Hall and I am a certified teacher and homeschool educator. I have been teaching for over 13 years both in the traditional classroom as well as online. I am certified to teach all levels of math in the states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. I have taught science, standardized test preparation, as well as study skills.
I left the traditional classroom in 2010 to homeschool my three kids teaching all subjects from reading to science to math. During that time I served as an editor with Ellechor Publishing Company, served as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for online schools as well as designed an ACT Test Preparation program. To this day I still teach online part time while homeschooling full time.
An interesting fact was that not only am I an analytical thinker but I am also an artist. My work has been display in an exhibit (this was before children).
I love teaching Mathematics, Science, English, History, Art, Study Skills and Standardized Test Preparation. I pretty much love teaching and I love learning.
My biggest passion is to help kids thrive and become master students in school and in life. I desire is to create a love for learning one equation at a time.
Due to the high demand of some of my courses I have enlisted to help of some teachers who are equally as qualified.
We look forward to serving you!

ABOUT TIFFANY BLASSINGAME, M.ED.
Tiffany Blassingame is the Founder and Head of School at The Ferguson School. Throughout her work as an educator for over 20 years, she has developed curriculum and programming, provided instructional coaching and professional development for school principals and their teachers, served as a school administrator and education activist, and taught primary grades. When her son was younger, Tiffany began searching for the right learning environment for him. She found schools that were either strong in character principles, strong in academics, or strong in identity development. However, she couldn’t find a school that offered all three areas and offered them well. Years later, she decided to create the space that she searched for when her son was younger--an intellectually, emotionally, and physically safe space for children.
Tiffany is a graduate of Columbia College with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education and a Master’s degree from Clemson University in Education Administration. She holds endorsements in both reading and gifted education. Tiffany supports racial diversity, inclusion, and equity in both the public and independent school sectors. She has presented at local, national, and world conferences on various topics for equitable identification and support for talented learners.

TESTIMONIALS
"Ms. Hall was an excellent fit for my son. She was able to give him encouragement and confidence in his math skills. Ms. Hall was able to improve my son’s test grades from making low F’s to B’s and C’s and a couple of A’s. He was finally able to pass geometry after taking the class 2 times. I highly recommend her as a reliable and patient teacher for kids and adults of all ages."
