I have a Master’s degree in education/curriculum and instruction and over 27 years of education experience. As the foundation of TBG Academic Consulting, I am a freelance Curriculum & Instructional Design Specialist, Homeschool Education Specialist & Consultant, ex-home-school director/facilitator, and learning coach. I am the proud mother of 4 young adults I independently home-schooled from “Kindergarten to highly successful college undergrad and Master's degrees.” I have been married for 30 years and am a proud Nana to two beautiful granddaughters.
I encourage interested clients to take a look at my reviews when considering the job success score provided here by Upwork's success score algorithm. As a freelancer on this platform since 2015, I am still not clear on how and why the success score works the way it does.
I design and develop customized curricula and educational support materials for independent organizations and education companies. I also specialize in consulting with and helping home-school families and groups create, maintain, and sustain an effective and efficient learning community within their homes, organizations, or groups. I provide consulting and curriculum/course design/writing services that help eliminate confusion, enhance critical learning abilities, and create sustainable learning environments. I have a well-rounded curriculum portfolio and have even written curricula internationally. I am passionate about taking pride in my work.
In conjunction with my homeschool, I developed high school robotics engineering, software engineering, fashion design, art, dietetics, and psychology endorsement career pathways and facilitated a multitude of courses I designed, developed, or outsourced. I provided my home-schooled and compulsory students access to student volunteer programs and established successfully paid internships for my home-schooled learners by developing the programs and negotiating contracts with local businesses.
