About Jennifer

Jennifer received her bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts with an emphasis in Sociology and a minor in Education, as well as her Multiple Subject Credential from the University of California, Riverside. She taught second grade for six years in public school before homeschooling her own children from birth through high school, a time she cherished. Jennifer has been part of co-ops, charter schools, and independent study resource centers. She has experienced the different options available to parents and is familiar with independent study resources. As an empty nester and proud new grandmother, she is excited about the opportunity to share meaningful educational experiences with her grandchildren.

Having been a homeschooling parent, Jennifer has a heart for teaching and deeply appreciates and understands the independent study family-centered lifestyle and philosophy of learning. Sensitive to children’s different learning styles and modalities, she knows how to offer alternative curricula, schedules, and learning environments to engage even the most reluctant students and to create the most positive and individualized learning approach for all learners. Jennifer believes independent studying is a journey for both the student and the parent, and her passion is to provide support and encouragement to other families.
