Homeschooling, Online Classes
Teacher Jade Profile
I started tutoring in college as an AmeriCorps member. Tutoring helped me finally answer the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I wanted to be an artist but I also wanted to work with youth as an educator.
I completed my B.A. in History and African/African-American History.
My M.Ed is in Professional Studies: Family, Youth, and Community with my license in Parent and Family Education.
I went from tutoring in after school programs to teaching in the classroom. During summer break I would teach art classes at local community centers. It was my way of taking a break from the classroom.
Once I started homeschooling I transitioned from PT tutoring online and FT teaching in public schools to FT online teaching.
My approach to teaching is having student-led learning. If the learner is enjoying what is being taught there will be more engagement and the learning will be retained.
Specialties: English Language Arts (ELA) – reading and writing, arts, world history, and ELL/ESL (TOEFL certified)

Hi Jade, I have decided to quit teaching after 14 years, it horrifies me to think of going back in the classroom. I’m wondering if I might like doing it online, there’s one drawback though… I really detest lesson planning. What are your suggestions? Thanks.
Hi,
You can hire out for someone to develop the lesson plans and course material for you.
This is one of the packages I provide in my consultation services.
