I've been teaching kids for more than a decade - on Outschool since 2020 - and am a homeschooling mom of two. I have lived experience regarding my own state, and a thirst for knowledge for any that I have not visited!
I have taught the live version of Mewnited States on Outschool since 2023. I love to create fun classes in subjects that don't always seem as fun to learn. Weaving in creativity, kids can find an interest in a subject they didn't think they'd love!Reviews
