I am a dedicated homeschooling mother with experience in education, business, and cross-cultural work. My teaching experience is quite varied. I have been a second grade classroom teacher and also have been a special education paraprofessional. I have taught in co-op settings as well as volunteered in an international school setting. I have homeschooled my own children from kindergarten through to high school. I am also an accredited teacher with the Institute for Excellence in Writing. I have lived overseas for the last fifteen years but have recently returned to the states with my family. Since my children are older and more independent, I am interested in returning to the teaching. I love teaching and have a passion for seeing children reach their potential academically.
