Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold two bachelor's degrees, one in creative writing and another in child psychology. I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing my master's in writing.
I have taught on Outschool for over 4 years and have homeschooled my own kiddo since kindergarten (who is now in high school.)
Plus, honestly, teaching is my passion, and I LOVE my job! :) Which, I think is the most important factor here.
