Lunch Date: Let's make Spanakopita!

Hello! My name is Avgi! I am so excited to be your Teacher and have fun adventures in learning together!  I can't wait to meet you and get to know you better!  Here's a little bit about me... I am a  Teacher and  Homeschool Mom/Teacher!   I taught Kindergarten Readiness classes for the City of Chula Vista where I live here in San Diego, California for many years while I homeschooled, and I currently continue to  homeschool my 2 sons ages 12, 16, and my third son 18; who recently graduated high school.  My  Kindergarten Readiness classes were based on teaching my students all the necessary subjects and skills needed to excel in Kindergarten through hands on learning and fun activities.  I taught reading, math, science, social studies, and social skills.  My classes always incorporate cooking into the curriculum, (because who doesn't love to eat, right?) Teaching outside the home and inside the home with my own sons from elementary school through high school has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.
 One fun little fact and hobby about me: I have a butterfly garden and raise many exotic butterfly and moth varieties. I even raised preying mantises in the past as well.  I loved sharing the  experience of witnessing the stages of metamorphosis of these beautiful creatures with my students in the classroom and seeing their faces in awe as they took part in this beautiful  experience of learning about nature. 
   I am always available to teach all elementary school curriculum   upon request, but focusing more here on Outschool with  teaching  the Greek culture, (where I am from) and cooking up a storm in my Greek kitchen!  I started teaching Greek cooking classes online on Zoom a few years ago for all ages at the request of many friends and previous students of mine, who fell in love with Greek food after the many feasts at my house. I’ve been cooking Greek food all of my life for my family and friends.  I’ve also catered large events,  and ran a small lunch delivery business to local businesses here in San Diego. 
  I can't wait to teach you about the Greek culture, and have fun together on Outschool. When you enter my classroom/kitchen we will be instant friends forever!  In Greek we call our friends "filos" or "filia mou'' "my friends''.  I am a very patient Teacher and believe individualized attention to every one of my students is so important.  My teaching style is also organized and informative, but exciting and silly too!  We will learn and laugh together.  
Can't wait for you to join me in my Big Fat Greek kitchen, on a cooking adventure to Greece! OPA!!
