About Me

I believe that every student has great potential. I used to be a public school teacher in Anaheim, CA and now I'm a homeschooling mom in Oklahoma! I teach my children at home as well as classes at our homeschool co-op each week. At home, I use a classical method of education which emphasizes reading, writing, research, Latin, Debate and more which gives students great critical thinking skills. What I have learned from all different teaching experiences is that students who are struggling probably didn't get to be taught the right way--the way that matches how they think and learn. A good teacher should be able to recognize when a certain approach isn't working and then alter or completely change the approach. I can work with anyone who really gives a good effort. My main strengths are Language Arts (which includes grammar, writing, reading, spelling and everything else in our English language), Math, up to pre-Algebra, and music theory, including A.P. Music Theory for high schoolers looking to major in music in college. Overall, I try to instill the concepts of "how to learn" and "how to think critically" instead of "what to learn." With that perspective, you can begin to pursue subjects that you love, and you can learn anything! My degrees and credentials are B. A. Music in Applied Piano and Church Music; CA teaching credential (which I have now let expire); M. M. Choral Conducting. As stated above, I teach 13-14 year olds at our homeschool co-op. We study Math, Logic, Latin, Writing, Science Research, and Debate. We prepare for a mock trial every year.
