Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Georgia Teaching Certificate in Science
I'm Anjel, an educator with a solid STEM background since 2007. A few years into teaching at a traditional school, I ventured into the world of homeschooling my own children, which opened doors to a whole new realm of teaching possibilities. Since then, I've remained actively involved in education -  offering classes, workshops, and private tutoring for kids and adults alike. While I'm deeply rooted in STEM, my teaching experience spans various subjects and grade levels (including ESL!)

Besides my education journey, I've also worn the hat of a small business owner for over two decades, transitioning from graphic and web design to interior and 3D design. When you join my classes, you're not only getting an experienced educator but also insights from an industry professional.

My teaching philosophy centers on making learning engaging, interactive, and experiential. While my classes maintain a structured approach with clear objectives, I always tailor each class to the unique skills and interests of each group. I'm a firm believer in self-directed and democratic education, and I'm committed to fostering creativity while imparting practical knowledge.

Now, for some fun facts about me: I'm a proud mother of six, an avid traveler, a space enthusiast, and I love adventure and challenges, but the idea of space travel gives me the absolute JITTERS!!
