Learning From the Periodic Table (Part 3 in the "Intro to Chemistry" Series)

Hello!  My name is Jennessa Vullo and I teach a wide range of "middle school" science classes.  I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 beautiful boys and LOVE teaching science! 

I have a Bachelor's degree in Life Science Education from St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and am a certified teacher in North Carolina.  I taught general middle school science in a public school for 8 years.  About 4 years ago, I turned into a homeschooling mom who taught preschool during the day, and Adult Basic Education (ABE) Classes at night.  After two years of that, I changed my focus to teaching a few online ESL classes to elementary-aged students while still homeschooling my son.  However, my interest, desire, and passion lie with the sciences and middle-school-aged students. So, now I am teaching through Outschool! 

The biggest question learners have, whether intentional or not, is "Why do I need to know this?"  Therefore, I set out to answer that question with every lesson I teach.   From online labs to open discussions, we will explore various science topics in a way that allows learners to not only learn the material but also understand why science is so important to their everyday lives.  Hopefully, inspiring the next generation of scientists!

I believe through the right type of learning tools and the right teacher relationship, students can understand any topic and succeed.  And, as I do with my children, I desire to foster the love of learning so that students become lifelong learners; ready to tackle any challenge life has for them.  I look forward to working with both students and parents to create a partnership that helps achieve your family's goals.
