I am a successful Outschool teacher with proven methods for success. I am a certified teacher with 15+ years of teaching in the public, private, homeschool, university model, online, or private tutoring sector. I have a BA in Business Communications, a writing minor, and a teacher's certification and have been Charlotte Mason trained at Ambleside University. I'm also trained to teach Saxon math in grades 1-4 and utilize a variety of methods in order to be successful.    I have been a classroom first-grade teacher and am very familiar with the concepts needed to be taught at this young level to be successful. I can tailor my teaching for whatever needs occur and have an extensive library with multiple resources.  I have a proven dynamic teaching style and animated approach to teaching and learning. In addition, I'm passionate about meeting socio-emotional needs, in addition to academics, and have since become involved in Gals On The Go Project which provides prevention and resiliency workshops to kids through engaging activities, games, role-playing, crafts, and socratic group discussions. 
 

Parent Comments: 
Ms. Wendy is a phenomenal teacher. My son has learned so much in her class. My 2 year old daughter even picked up counting and some math songs by overhearing from a different room!  Ms. Wendy is not only engaging, but covers so much - counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, counting money, reading a clock, addition/subtraction, graphs, word problems, calendar, writing/spelling, patterns, ruler, shapes, etc. Her curriculum is well-structured and goes above and beyond. For instance, she not only provides daily homework, but homework videos with all the answers which is helpful not only for the kids, but busy parents. My son is shy and through her end of class show & tell each day he has become a lot better at speaking up. It's also a great way for online classmates to get to know one another. My son is always asking us math problems on his own now, including negative numbers. And he can solve these problems, because she's drilled in his head how to use the hundreds chart. I cannot recommend her enough! 

You are awesome. My son is learning so much from you. You devote tons of time. 

I am so blessed to find this class! I like the in-class worksheet and how you keep every child engaged.  You have great energy and always smiling which helps my daughter to stay interested.

By the way, you are an amazing teacher. This is our first Outschool class where I feel like a real teacher is teaching the class. I appreciate all your patience and steadfastness to such young children. My mom was a teacher of middle school for 35 years so I can spot the good ones. :)

Very good class. Encourages participation. Everyone gets a turn to speak often.
