Hello. My name is Erin. I have been a homeschooling mom for the last 7 years to my son, Christopher, who has autism and anxiety. I live in Western New York with my husband, my son, and our pets. Cookie is our dog. We have 6 cats - Olaf, Elsa, Midnight, Nico, Bonnie and Clyde. Usually one of them will pop into class to say hello. 

I enjoy teaching on Outschool and getting to know children from all over the world. I provide a friendly and welcoming environment for my classes. We take a very eclectic approach to teaching leaning more toward a classical style. 

I enjoy teaching classes that focus on social skills, reading social cues, communication skills, and friendly peer interaction. I offer a safe and friendly environment for all children. If a child is reserved and prefers to have their camera off, once verification is complete, that child is welcome to turn their camera off.

I have previously taught in 2 different homeschool co-ops to children of a variety of ages and abilities. Throughout that time, I have learned many ways to engage with children and encourage participation.
