Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of New Orleans
Hello!  My name is Beth.  I teach classes in writing, sewing, gardening, and life skills. I unschool my own two children, we are from New Orleans, LA, and now live on a small farm in south Mississippi.  


I believe that where there is interest, learning will follow.  I create engaging and interesting classes that inspire interest and foster learning and true comprehension.  I offer a supportive and positive learning environment where it is safe to make mistakes.  Mistakes are an amazing opportunity for learning.  I enjoy helping students find the spark that lights the fire of motivation.  In my classroom, students grow in confidence and bravery.  

I look forward to seeing you in my classroom!
