About Curio | thinkcurio.com

Hello there!

Homeschooling isn't just loading kids up with knowledge... but you already knew that. We're supporting learners who need critical thinking, creativity, and integrity to take their place in society. 

I've seen this first hand in ALL the educational settings, which sets me up in a unique way to work with kiddos to strengthen these areas as we build skills like literary analysis, problem solving, and clear expression.

ESA funds (ClassWallet) are accepted from Arizona, New York, Utah,  and West Virginia for tutoring sessions.


➡️Newbery Award-Winning Book Studies (these are the classics!) like:

 ✅Holes Bud, Not Buddy ✅A Wrinkle in Time ✅From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler


➡️Writing based on topics kids love (but that also give them choice to motivate them!) with STEAM extensions: 

 Adventure Writing 5-Pack  Winter Writing 5-Pack  Summer Writing 5-Pack  All Year Holiday Writing 5-Pack  Life & Social Skills Writing 5-Pack  Social Emotional Skills Writing 5-Pack


As a homeschooling mom of 4, and educator of over 13 years, I've taught in public, private, and online settings. One of my favorite things is seeing learners grow in confidence and find their voice as they think critically about the challenges, content, and world at their feet! My classes are known for being rigorous and progress-driven, yet based on a down-to-earth and often humorous tone.


 But you'll want to check all this out first... ideally for free! Sample my work with some free classes & printables here!


Whatever brings you here, I hope you find some joy and support via great resources and solid experience.

Here's a recent chat I had with my fellow homeschool mom and former public school teacher, Kami Wanous:
