Hi there. I am a homeschooling mom of five kids, ranging in age from ten to nineteen. We are diving into our 7th year of homeschooling and we love it. I have a passion for both education and creativity and I love combining the two whenever I can. When I'm not teaching (my kids or someone else's), I run a business based purely on creativity and art. 

Traveling (and 8 years of formal classes) gave me a handle on the Spanish language. I have a background in general education from 19 years of combined experience teaching in public and charter school settings, as well as tutoring one on one, ESL, and running various camps and activities. My experience ranges from childcare (infant) age all the way through high school age and includes work with neurodiverse and special needs students, as well as students with mental health issues.

I feel that children should be encouraged to follow their passions. Children need to know that they can have what they want for their lives if they have the correct tools and motivation to get there. I hope to help build confidence in my students and to give them some of those tools. I also believe that not every child learns the same way. Education is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I look forward to helping your child learn how they learn.

While I offer an extensive collection of class content choices, my specialty is meeting students where they’re at and making the course material accessible to all students, regardless of the topic. I love to be silly with my students and encourage interaction in all of my classes. I want learners to feel at ease and safe to be themselves in my classroom. My small class sizes and relaxed, encouraging teaching style allow me to tailor my classes to each student’s needs and learning style, resulting in learners walking away from class confident and smiling.

I have a passion for, and educational background in Graphic Art/Design, however, my degrees are AA in Liberal Studies and a BA in General Studies with a concentration in Psychology. I am also certified in TESOL and Art Therapy. 

**I believe that education (even electives!) should be accessible to everyone. For that reason, I am offering 3 scholarship spots every month, to be used in any of my participating classes (excludes 1-on-1 classes, private tutoring classes, and small group tutoring classes) please see below for the scholarship amounts and details.

Scholarship 1: (4) One-Time classes to be used within the scholarship month
Scholarship 2: (4) consecutive weeks of an ongoing class 
Scholarship 3: Multi-Day classes - I will calculate the daily cost and refund you the equivalent of 4 days. 

These will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. If this could help your learner access a class, just send me a message to request a spot, no proof is required. Students can not request the scholarship 2 months in a row. We want to give everyone an opportunity.

I so look forward to working with your learner. Thanks for stopping by.
