My name is Cherie Steele.  I am a mother of five fabulous kids, all of whom I’ve completely homeschooled.   I have twenty years of experience as a curriculum author, private tutor, online teacher, a private co-op teacher, and a homeschool teacher.  

I am a graduate of  Penn State University and trained in the teaching of Intensive Phonics.  I hold TESOL and TEFL certifications as well.  In addition, I have a strong background in music, having completed 3 years of study in music and vocal performance at JDF Records in Nashville, TN.  Locally, I have taught private piano and voice. 

For the past twenty years, one of my great loves has been teaching language arts.   Reading, writing, grammar, literature, and poetry are my passions.  From ensuring that young students have a firm foundation in phonics to training older students to become great writers, it is my goal to establish a love of language arts in children.   

I have logged thousands of online classes worldwide with students ranging in age from three to eighteen.  I currently teach children in ten countries weekly, with classes ranging from reading and phonics for the "littles," to grammar and creative writing for the older children.  I love the smiles and energy of the "littles" and the inquisitiveness and knowledge base of the older students. 

Your student will feel right at home in my classroom.  I am a patient teacher, and I love to bring smiles and a feeling of accomplishment.  My goal is simple...lay solid foundations and build upon them with quality material.   

I am excited to meet your student.  

See you in class!  :)
