About the store
Husband, father of six, Christian, and belletristic bibliomaniac, Jeremy is no stranger to the homeschool community. It was the filling of a need for a grammar/writing tutor at a local homeschool co-op that resurrected Jeremy’s lifelong desire to teach and make learning exciting. Though he holds a degree in art and graphic design, his stronger love for literature made teaching English a more natural choice. Currently, Jeremy uses his passion to teach middle and high school English at two locations in Wilmington, NC: One, a classical private school; the other, a homeschool community group. Jeremy has been honing his teaching skills since 2016.

Teaching style
Let's just say it! School is hard. Most kids would rather live a Tom Sawyer life and be footloose and fancy-free, than sit in a schoolroom for hours. With that understanding, Jeremy seeks to create worksheets and curriculum that create an engaging experience. Games. Hands-on projects. Art. Music. He uses it all. According to his students, English is never boring in Mr. Ackerman's classroom.
Awards & shining teacher moments
The honor of rocking students' worlds.
