“Sheryl is a great teacher in teaching international students English. She understands what they need in their studying abroad lives, not only with language but also with culture.

Hi, I’m Sheryl
I am the Lead Teacher and education is my passion! I have my M.A. in Teaching, and I have taught in the public school in addition to homeschooling my four children. I have over 15 years teaching experience and helped start and manage classical homeschool co-ops to encourage families to educate their children through high school.
In 2020, I began teaching online globally to students mainly in Asia to help prepare them with reading, writing and speaking before they study abroad. I have found the classical model of education to be a natural and interactive way to improve English proficiency. Through stories and discussions, students are inspired to think critically and express their original thoughts through speech and writing.
