1-2 hours per week. Students will be required to complete unfinished class assignments for homework. Multiple stories will be read, outlined, and rewritten with stylistic techniques.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Governors State University
Hello,
My name is Regina A. Moffett aka Mrs. Moffett and my homeschooling journey has ended with my two sons, however my passion for homeschooling is so enormous that I continue to teach in the homeschool community. My motto is “homeschooling is a labor of love and I love what I do.” Above all, I have been involved in the homeschool community for 25 plus years teaching hands-on science, writing (creative and research paper), literature, communication and speech, and art history classes for grades K-12th. I have also designed and taught literature through science courses for elementary and Jr. High grade levels. One of my popular classes to teach is Literature through Geography, History, and Science for grades 3-8. Although I enjoy science my favorite classes to teach are literature and writing. While I have taught classes at various co-ops and in my home I am now teaching classes online.
I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts and a Masters in Communications and Training with a concentration in Instructional Design. Being an independent teacher allows me to incorporate my educational training and experiences into the courses I offer. Because I have a passion for learning I genuinely enjoy sharing my knowledge with others and inspiring them to seek their own knowledge. If given the opportunity I would incorporate, notebooking, lapbooks, and or arts and crafts activities in all my classes.
Looking forward to sharing my passion for teaching while watching you discover new things.Reviews
