Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Illinois State University
Hello, my name is Danielle! I am excited to teach your child! I am currently a stay at home mom of one boy who is 1 years old, and three girls, my youngest daughter is 5 years old and my older two girls, who are actually my stepdaughters, are 13 and 15 years old; they live with us 100% of the time so I consider them my own.
My husband is in the Marine Corps. We are both originally from central Illinois, we currently live in Virginia but I have also lived in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Missouri, North Carolina, and Arizona.
I attended Illinois State University where I have a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education. I completed the Professional Development School during my senior year at ISU, which is where college students Student Teach for an entire school year rather than just one semester. I have taught Preschool and Kindergarten for 6 years in a brick and mortar school. I have also taught Middle School Special Education and 4th grade for 1 year each in the same school district. Before Outschool I taught ESL online to students in Asia.
I am passionate about education! I love taking something that children are not interested in and making it fun for them. I feel that it is crucial to teach students in a variety of ways as we all learn things differently. I am passionate about reading, I read with my children every day.
I also enjoy going to the beach, swimming in a pool, hiking, bike riding with my family, traveling, and crafting, as well as playing with my girls and watching them learn. I also enjoy doing yoga with my daughters, as well as, spending time with my family and our family dog, June Bug.
I’m excited to meet your child and help foster their love for learning! Please follow me to explore the wonderful world of learning in my classroom!
*I offer a sibling discount when two or more students are enrolled by the same parent in the same class section. I will offer 50% off of one child. Please send me a message to request my sibling discount when you have two or more children enrolled in the same class to receive the discount. Sometimes parents have the same name as another parent in the class or I miss it so I only offer the discount per parent request.
Thank you!
Your Friend,
