Hey there parents! My name is Tara, and I can't wait to be your child's next Outschool teacher. I live in a small town outside of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and I'm a homeschool mom of two energetic boys who are 10 and 7 years old.

I believe that children learn best by doing. My classes will be fun, engaging and hands on. I have a passion for reading, travel, health and wellness as well as cooking yummy meals and treats with my boys. My classroom is a welcoming environment that is geared towards all learning styles and personalities.

I have over 18 years of teaching experience including 7 years of in classroom teaching where I worked as a special education teacher for students in grades K-8, 6 years of online teaching experience teaching ESL to students around the world and 5 years of homeschooling my own children. I earned my B.A. Degree in Special Education and my Masters Degree in Education with a Reading Specialist certification.

For the past 10 years I have been a work from home mom. I love learning and sharing what I learn with others. Our family recently started fostering dogs and that definitely gets us outside and active a lot!

I am so excited to have you considering one of my classes. If you enjoy me as your teacher, please feel free to request new types of classes and follow my profile to get notified when I make new classes available!

See you in my classroom soon,
Tara Nistico
