TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am a home school teacher who firmly believes that solving puzzles helps to develop a critical mind! I've taught my two children from kindergarten through high school. My oldest is currently studying at ODU for a bachelor's in engineering. I have two more years with my youngest who helps me edit all the puzzles you find here. We hope that you and your students find them fun to solve! For more info about me and my puzzles, check out my blog!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to use the classical approach to education and follow Susan Wise Bauer's "The Well-Trained Mind".
