Class Experience

Homeschoolers are an eclectic group of students that have a range of backgrounds and learning styles. There are so many homeschooling styles, that no two homeschool experiences are alike. 

Homeschool hangout is an inclusive social space to share experiences, life events, and generally have fun hanging out with friends. 

This is not meant to be an academic group, but a weekly experience rich with social skill practice, fun, and laughter. Small groups allow for increased interaction. We will talk about what interests the learners have and the discussion will be guided and supported from there. If the group is a little hesitant, then we may use ice breaker activities to spark some inspiration. These are fantastic ways for older kids to practice and increase their confidence in conversation and public speaking. 

Since this is a social-based class, the specific content of the class each week will be determined by the students who are in attendance. 

I feel that children should be encouraged to follow their passions. Children need to know that they can have what they want for their lives if they have the correct tools and motivation to get there. I hope to help build confidence in my students and to give them some of those tools. I also believe that not every child learns the same way. Education is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I look forward to helping your child learn how they learn.

While I offer an extensive collection of class content choices, my specialty is meeting students where they’re at and making the course material accessible to all students, regardless of the topic. I love to be silly with my students and encourage interaction in all of my classes. I want learners to feel at ease and safe to be themselves in my classroom. My small class sizes and relaxed, encouraging teaching style allow me to tailor my classes to each student’s needs and learning style, resulting in learners walking away from class confident and smiling.

*If you don't see a time listed that works for you, please reach out. I am happy to add classes to accommodate students’ schedules whenever I can. Thank you!*

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Southern New Hampshire University
I am a homeschooling mom of five kids, ranging in age from ten to nineteen. We are diving into our 6th year of homeschool and we love it. I have a passion for both education and creativity and I love combining the two whenever I can. When I'm not teaching (my kids or someone else's), I run a business based purely on creativity and art. 

Traveling (and 8 years of formal classes) gave me a handle on the Spanish language. I have a background in general education from 19 years of combined experience teaching in public and charter school settings, as well as tutoring one on one, ESL, and running various camps and activities. My experience ranges from childcare (infant) age all the way through high school age and includes work with neurodiverse and special needs students, as well as students with mental health issues.

I have a passion for, and educational background in Graphic Art/Design, however, my degrees are AA in Liberal Studies and a BA in General Studies with a concentration in Psychology. I am also TESOL certified.
