Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 9
Welcome to Saxon Math 5/4 - where I will help you successfully complete your Saxon math book - and enjoy it! As a former homeschooler, and a seasoned homeschool teacher, I have 20 years of experience utilising Saxon Math. I find it to be the most comprehensive math curriculum available and I am excited to offer it to the homeschool community on Outschool. If you are looking for inexpensive places to purchase the text books for this class, please message me and I will be happy to assist. I am able to help learners with mixed practice work, lesson explanation, benchmark tests throughout our time together. I am also able to grade their work during our lesson time. I have a hard and digital copy of Saxon Math 5/4 to aid us in working together through each problem they encounter! Saxon math uses the spiral approach, which helps students build on their knowledge and incorporate the skills they’ve learned in future work. Focusing on algebraic reasoning and geometric concepts, Saxon Math Homeschool teaches math with a spiral approach, which emphasizes incremental development of new material and continuous review of previously taught concepts. This Saxon 54 textbook covers concepts such as whole number concepts and computation; arithmetic algorithms, geometry and measurement; elapsed time; fractions, decimals and percents; powers and roots; estimation; patterns and sequences; congruency and similarity; and statistics and probability. Students will specifically learn to add three-digit numbers, subtract numbers with re-grouping, read time, write numbers, estimate arithmetic answers, divide with two-digit answers, multiply three or more factors, simplify fraction answers, use a decimal number line, and more. Lessons contain a warm-up (with facts practice, mental math, & problem-solving exercises), an introduction to the new concept, lesson practice exercises where the new skill is practiced, and mixed practice exercises, which include 25-30 old and new problems. Which grade is appropriate for my student? Saxon Math 5/4 is on-grade level for 4th grade and for a 5th grader who may need to take it at a slower pace. Saxon Math 6/5 is on-grade level for 5th grade and for a 6th grader who may need to take it at a slower pace. Saxon Math 7/6 is on-grade level for 6th grade and for a 7th grader who may need to take it at a slower pace. Saxon Math 8/7 is on-grade level for 7th grade and for an 8th grader who may need to take it at a slower pace. Algebra 1/2 is often taken by 8th graders. Algebra 1 is often taken by 8th or 9th graders.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Outschool! I’m a homeschool graduate, homeschool teacher, and pianist!
Proud to be an Outschool ACE educator!
I teach Political Science, Spanish, Economics, Maths, Latin, and History at homeschool co-ops in the United States and the United Kingdom and I have run a private music studio for over 10 years, where I teach Classical piano and Music Theory.
At university I studied Political Science and Economics - and I hold a Bachelor’s Degree. Immediately after college I began working on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., but found I was being called to be a teacher. Outside of teaching, my work experience includes extensive political work, including state and local campaigns, where I have organized large-scale fundraisers, shaped political messaging and run comprehensive marketing campaigns and demographic research. I continue this work in my spare time, as it is something I truly love.
☀️ MY HOBBIES ☀️
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, farming, & travelling the world. I also love to learn languages (Spanish, French, Hebrew, Latin, Italian!) and learning about different cultures - I have been to more than 30 different countries, and next stop is…Croatia!
✅ MATH LESSONS ✅
Is your learner falling behind or struggling with math? Have you discovered your child has learning difference? I specialize in teaching mathematics in these instances. Together we will rebuild foundational maths concepts such as number sense and arithmetic concepts, and restore your learner’s confidence!
🤩 LATIN LESSONS 🤩
I have been teaching Latin for over 10 years to homeschoolers around the world! Latin enriches lives and makes learning languages more accessible to learners of all ages. For the last year I have been developing my courses by traveling all over the Roman Empire filming original footage. I also participated in a 2 week long archaeological dig at Vindolanda, uncovering the secrets that were left behind by the Ancient Romans and filming more special and amazing footage.
🎶 MUSIC LESSONS 🎶
I take great pride in my piano studio! Over the past decade I have had the privilege of teaching over 100 children. My goal is to ensure that each student is able to grow to love and understand music. Every week, I work hard to tailor each lesson to my student’s unique learning style. I have a degree in piano performance, and believe in a holistic approach to the study of music, and music theory is an important part of that equation! All of my music students study music theory, and they will testify that it makes them better musicians!
🌈 LEARNING DIFFERENCES 🌈
Growing up, I was homeschooled student from K-12, with two disabled parents, which led me to be an independent and hard worker. I finished my High School at 16, and graduated college Summa Cum Laude. I come from a neurodivergent family and have years of experience with students who have learning differences such as: ASD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, visual impairments, and hard of hearing. I know ASL 🤟 and am comfortable incorporating this into my lessons
👩🏫 TEACHING STYLE 👩🏫
My goal is to take education out of the traditional “classroom” setting and make life-learning a possibility for every student. I never sought out to be an educator, but my experience in university and the professional world pushed me into the field of education - it’s not a job, it’s a passion - and I never “work” a single day!
I firmly believes that by making topics interesting, relatable, and fun - students can learn anything, at any age. I hope to turn your children into life long learners, who view every encounter as another opportunity to learn and grow as people.
☀️ MY HOBBIES ☀️
In my spare time I enjoy hiking, farming, & travelling the world. I also love to learn languages (Spanish, French, Hebrew, Latin, Italian!) and learning about different cultures - I have been to more than 30 different countries, and next stop is…TAIWAN!
