30 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
I aim to connect, engage, and encourage each learner that comes into my classroom. This connection helps learners feel more comfortable in their learning environment which leads to more engagement in the lesson. I am so excited to discover the world of art with your learner! This art lesson will be fun, engaging, and interactive. During class we will paint and imagine our way through a day at the beach. Before we start painting we will talk about our favorite things about the beach. We take time to talk about what we will be painting to encourage the little one’s imagination. After we finish our painting, we will pretend like we are at the beach and we will then enjoy some class socialization. Painting is one of my favorite things to do with young learners as it allows a child’s imagination to flourish. In this class, students will also be encouraged to interact during our painting and sharing time. I aim to connect, engage, and encourage each learner that comes into my classroom.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from University of West Florida
Welcome to Outschool!
I’m a certified teacher and I teach lower elementary. I was a homeschool mom of two for ten years and I have a passion for teaching.
I love watching little ones learn and grow!
I have a high functioning autistic son and another son with ADHD and I love to help other children that may struggle academically. I love teaching classes about animals, letters, numbers, story time, phonics, song time, Bible stories, and arts and crafts.
I have my Bachelors Degree in Communications with a minor in Marketing and Art. I’ve been a special needs teacher, a Sunday School teacher, a kids choir teacher, and an art teacher and STEM teacher for many years and I get so much joy watching little ones learn. I’m a certified teacher and I currently teach art and STEM to lower elementary.
My teaching style is very much influenced by my experience as a homeschool parent.
I believe children are all are natural learners and that our classroom is a safe space where we can all feel respected. In our classroom we can all openly exchange ideas and opinions and can expect kindness and grace.
I focus on empowering my students by finding what they are passionate about and exploring their interests.
In my classroom my students can feel free to mute/unmute when needed. I am comfortable interacting with learners off-screen if they prefer not to stay on camera after they have been verified.
My classes are inclusive and I enjoy the diverse and accepting Outschool learner community.
I welcome the chance to meet children of all abilities and I also strive to meet the needs of neurodivergent children and any children with learning challenges.
I look forward to the opportunity of meeting your learners and sharing my passion for learning with them. I am excited to help your little one learn and having fun while learning.Reviews
