Offering Science and Math Classes in Red Wing, MN
A Little Background
I taught homeschool classes for 17 years but about 5 years ago had to take a full-time job. I am now excited to have the opportunity to teach again.
Over the years I taught classes at 4 different Twin Cities co-ops (Faith, ESCHEL, Scope, and Hero).
These classes included secondary sciences, web development, and graphic arts.
My goal is to engage the students and get them excited about learning. I am known as the fun teacher. I trained the adults in the co-ops to check my class 1st if they smelled burning before pulling the fire alarm.
