At Home Sweet Home, I have taught students of all ages ranging from 4 years old to people in their late 60s. During the Covid Lockdown in 2020, I began gaining experience with virtual lessons and have since taught in-person and remotely. In July of 2022, I started working for the remote teaching company, Virtu.Academy.
