- Tell us a bit about yourself--a brief bio
- I began teaching in a private school in 1997. I taught 4th, 6th-8th English, and 11th-12th English. I began homeschooling my children 7 years ago and discovered classical education about 3 years ago.

I'm passionate about classical education and currently tutor Essentials witn Classical Conversations.
