Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Jeana and I have a deep passion for teaching children of all ages (including adults!) about habits and mindsets that can help them to create their very best lives! I have seen firsthand in my own life, and in the lives of my four children, how incredibly powerful our minds are in creating our reality. I love teaching about the tools that help us to create and sustain positive thoughts and beliefs that lead to positive life experiences!
I also love writing! Writing is not only an essential skill that you will use your entire life, but it is also a wonderful form of creative expression. I love helping others find their inner writer! Children are naturally so imaginative, when they put this to use in their writing amazing things happen!
I have always been an educator. In previous chapters of my life I gained my masters from Harvard Graduate School of Education. For the past sixteen years, I have dedicated myself to home educating my children. I am passionate about lifelong learning, about seeking out new ways of approaching life and sharing this knowledge with others. Knowing that we are in charge of our lives, fully and completely, is one of the most empowering realizations we can have in this lifetime.
My teaching philosophy is that you learn best when you are actively engaged in the process. Therefore my classes incorporate plenty of activities and exercises to keep students engaged and reinforce the skills they are learning. My hope is that the skills, tools, and ideas that I share will become an integral part of each student’s life.
My favorite things to do include spending time with my kids (of course!), writing, hiking, practicing and teaching yoga, being outdoors, and trying new things! A fun fact about me is that I use the tools that I teach in my life every single day!Reviews
