Hello! My name is Lara, and I am thrilled to learn, teach, and grow with Outschool learners. I have worked with students of all ages both one-on-one and in the classroom; learning everything from physics to anthropology! I love seeing that sparkle in a student's eye when he or she understands a concept for the first time. I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Georgia in Anthropology with a concentration of Southeastern Native American archaeology, and a Masters degree in curriculum design and educational leadership from American Intercontinental University based out of Chicago, Illinois. I have worked both in the classroom and in the field teaching at the famous Fernbank Museum and Science Center in Atlanta, Georgia and with a very respected Georgia-based tutoring service, Visual Mathematics. I know that all students learn differently, and that is why I use a student-centered, dynamic, three-step approach for each subject. As an example, for English lessons, I begin with an auditory approach. I follow that with pictures and physical movement depicting the language used to develop a full, long-term comprehension in the student. I like to have fun in the classroom, because a student who is laughing is a student who is learning. When I'm not teaching, I raise and rescue rabbits and dogs. I love all animals, but those two are my favorites! See you in the classroom!!
