Hi parents! This fall, I have begun college admissions consulting with a few students in our community. After attending conferences and observing the environment around college admissions consulting, I have decided to expand my practice as a resource that is in line with my personal teaching style.

With a continued use of holistic approaches for students, my practice will continue to be defined by goal-centered, personalized sessions that we decide upon together. We will discuss more than just academics –– we will work to represent a student’s academic and personal life through an application that is comprehensive, compassionate, and confident.

I am opening this practice to two additional students this fall. Thank you!

Hi parents! I have a new program, specially designed for you! Through Foghorn Education Center, I will be doing a talk at the Marina Beach Park on the morning of September 14th, discussing the PNW from land to sea –– ocean tides, whales, history, marine life, driftwood, mindfulness, and more! For the past year now, I have been writing and teaching curriculums on PNW history, marine life, and the ocean. By a popular demand, I have now changed this curriculum to share my knowledge with parents and adults. If you are, or have ever been curious about the intricacies of our natural world here in the ever fascinating Puget Sound, sign up for a coffee, pastries, and a talk all about it!

We are incredibly proud to share that we have enrolled 12 campers in our scholarship program. As a new business, to provide this with the help of our sponsors has been a dream come true...

But we’re not done yet.

We have campers that would love to attend camp – impassioned, excited campers that are ready to learn, explore, and connect meaningfully to the natural world. That’s why we’ve decided to open our Swimming Sponsor program for individuals that feel inspired to help Foghorn and our campers on this incredible, ongoing journey –– at a contribution they feel comfortable with.

The cost of camp is $300, so every contribution is immensely valuable. Each Swimming Sponsor will have their contribution matched by Foghorn at 100%.

Hi everyone! I am so excited to announce that my summer camp has now been launched! This is a project that I've been working on for about seven months, and now I am delighted to be sharing it with you.

As an educator, I have always believed that the natural world, its history, and its beauty are powerful things for a student to appreciate. Nature is a source of peace, of understanding, and of community. But regional, naturalist, and hands-on education often falls to the wayside during the school year. In this summer camp curriculum, through games, play, and interactive lessons, we will build a sense of connection, understanding, and of community here in our incredible PNW ecosystem.

As Henry Matisse said, "there are always flowers for those who want to see them." Through this project, I aim to show students the beauty, intricacy, and knowledge of the Pacific Northwest through the exciting curriculums of summer camp education.

I would be honored to have your family join my wonderful teaching partners and myself in the maiden voyage of our all-about-nature summer camp, right here in Edmonds. Learn more about us here: foghorneducationcenter.com

What should a student do when they don't know the answer to something on a homework problem? Don't leave it blank! Explaining where the confusion is lets a teacher understand exactly where to go.

If we don't know the answer, let's try to identify what we don't know!

This week's word is "read." At first glance, this word seems simple. But in diving into the history of this word, back to Middle English and all the way through the French roots, we find a whole new way to look at "read."

Learn a word’s history, uses, and origins once a week for a whole new look on the language we use every day. This week? “Read.”

My teaching strategy has always been to define for myself what I aim to pass on. But learning how to effectively teach confidence took a little more than a quick search. In this article on my LinkedIn page, I've whittled down an embarrassing amount of research, observations, and teaching heuristics to share my explorations on this thing we all (inevitably) need.
