Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Kenyon College
I have taught over 5,900 students on Outschool and countless others outside the platform. I also have three kids of my own who all learn differently so I have years of experience teaching to a wide range of styles. I use this same multi-disciplinary, play-based approach to learning in my homeschool, and not only are my kids learning so much - they LOVE it!
I am excited to share these books and engaging activities with my students! Reviews
