She began teaching math and science to middle school students in Columbus, OH. She gained international experience and a greater appreciation for environmental diversity by teaching in Chile and Brazil. After 15 years of classroom teaching, Becky set out on her own to do independent work tutoring math and teaching small group science classes to homeschooled students, where she remains to this day. Becky’s B.S. is in Biology (with Chemistry and Theology minors) and she has a Master’s Degree in Science Education. She believes that the main advocates for a child’s education are the parents.

From parents and students…
Athena’s was an amazing find for us…He did other online classes, but his weekly hour at Athena’s was his favorite. He really loved his teacher and enjoyed the interaction with other kids in the virtual classroom, which is missing from many online classes. But most importantly, he was engaged intellectually. I highly recommend Athena’s Advanced Academy for highly gifted homeschoolers who want to interact in “class” with gifted students like themselves.
