Our goal is for learners to make friends, learn new things and have fun!

We are excited to explore art, music and PE with you and bring many years of experience to the class!

Let’s meet the team!

Art Teacher- Ms. Gerri
Experimenting with pastels, markers, paints, paper, and photos as a creative outlet is so therapeutic. It brings great joy! I love to share different techniques and ideas with young learners and see how they discover their own talents and what sparks their creativity. I work hard to make my classes a comfortable place to try new things, make mistakes, and be inspired. I have many one-time and ongoing classes, including, painting, animal drawing, art journals, and baking. I also have some fun and colorful 3-day art camps! I graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor’s degree in Art and worked in the art department of 3 different national publications for about 10 years prior to teaching. Then, I spent many years in the classroom teaching ages K-12 in a wide variety of subjects. I have been teaching art, baking and English language skills on Outschool for the past 2 years, as well as teaching online ESL classes for the past 4 years. I am excited to meet new artists!


Music Teacher- Mrs. Carol
B.A. in music specifically Vocal. Carol is certified in ORFF, a rhythmic based method of teaching music. She has been teaching music for 25+ years.  During that time, she created and taught an early years music program in Montessori schools. Carol has taught voice, piano, early childhood music in her own studio, as well as teaching for several summers at a symphony music camp teaching the ORFF method. Carol will be using the curriculum Smarty Pants Music that she created after teaching children for many years. It is very hands-on. "My hope is that your child will learn to love to sing, play instruments and engage in music."


PE Teacher- Miss Shannon
Let's get moving! I am very passionate about helping children to develop a love for getting active, being healthy, and learning! I believe children learn best through play. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Central Florida in elementary education. I also attended the National Academy of Sports Medicine and hold a Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) license with a specialization in youth exercise (YES certified) and nutrition (FNS certified). I am a Florida State Champion bodybuilder and I have been training and teaching children both in a group setting and individually for nearly 4 years now in my private gym. I have over a year of experience teaching health and fitness online to groups of children, many times 15+ learners in a class. I am also a private reading tutor in my local community. Whether it's exercising or learning to read, teaching children is the joy of my life! Fitness and learning should be fun. I help children develop their own intrinsic motivation to get active through engaging, high-intensity workouts that will teach them balance, agility, and strength exercises. I also love teaching about our bodies and how to fuel them with food! I encourage and motivate children through tons of praise and confidence building. I have a very energetic teaching style, and I can't wait to learn and get active with you!
