I

I have been an instructor in the homeschool community since 2004 and a former homeschooling parent for 14 years. The Inspired Scholar, LLC developed out of my passion for young people and education.  I have been teaching classes online since 2012.

My teaching experience involves more than a decade of teaching English to all grades and ability levels. In local homeschool co-ops I have taught writing using the IEW method of writing as well as other systems. I encourage my  students to participate in essay contests and I have had students who have won scholarships at universities. Additionally, I have taught literature classes, linguistics, and Shakespeare classes concluding with a full-length performance. In 2012 I  began to include online teaching to my in-person co-op teaching and I continue teaching online today. I am a fellow learner who understands both the frustrations and joys of learning. Currently,  I am working on a writing curriculum.  I can’t wait to unveil those projects to you!  My great desire is to see students build their confidence as they excel in their endeavors. When not teaching I enjoy learning more about fashion history, sewing, and historical dance.
