TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Over the past 16 years, I've had the incredible privilege of teaching in both homeschool and co-op settings, blending the educational styles of Charlotte Mason, Classical Education, and traditional schooling methods. This unique combination has allowed me to provide a well-rounded and engaging learning experience for my students. In my teaching practice, I've embraced the principles of Charlotte Mason, creating an environment filled with curiosity and wonder. By immersing students in the beauty of literature, nature, and the arts, I've fostered a genuine love for learning and encouraged them to make personal connections with the world around them. Drawing from the Classical Education approach, I've guided students in exploring classical literature, languages, history, and critical thinking skills. Through the stages of the trivium, I've helped them build a strong foundation of knowledge, develop their reasoning abilities, and express themselves eloquently. At the same time, I've incorporated traditional schooling methods to provide structure, academic rigor, and a comprehensive understanding of core subjects. By utilizing well-designed lesson plans, assessments, and adhering to academic standards, I've ensured that my students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for future academic pursuits. Throughout my teaching journey, I've celebrated the unique strengths, interests, and learning styles of each student. By tailoring my instruction to meet their individual needs, I've created a nurturing and inclusive environment where they can thrive academically, intellectually, and personally. Looking back on my teaching experience, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have positively influenced the lives of numerous students. I've instilled in them a genuine love for learning, honed their critical thinking abilities, and cultivated a strong sense of character development.
