Once trust has been established, the teacher can lead the student to any educational destination. </div><div><br /></div><div>My husband (also a teacher) and I have been married for 34 years, and we have two incredible grown sons! Our sons had their own tailor-made mixtures of educational types prior to attending university. Both, at one time or another, experienced homeschool, public school, and private Christian school. Our older son wanted to graduate from a public high school, while our younger son unschooled himself to graduation. We believe that just as every child is unique, so should be his or her educational pathway. </div><div><br /></div><div>It's been my privilege to teach children from pre-kindergarten through seniors in high school. The subjects I’ve taught include all early-childhood subjects, as well as reading, writing, science, social studies, music (all ages), and choir (all ages). Additionally, I’ve served as a Curriculum and Instructional Coach. You’ll find me teaching many of these and related topics here!</div><div><br /></div><div>Other points of interest about me are listed below.</div><div>* After having taught in private and public schools for 14 years, I began teaching online through Outschool.</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>I’ve taught private music lessons (piano, flute, and voice).</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>I began a community reading club for children at a local farmers’ market.</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>I’m a Teachers Pay Teachers Author.</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>I’m a singer/composer.</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>I love to write!</div><div>•<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>…and perhaps the coolest thing of all…I have two Poodles (Willoughby James and Frasier)!</div><div><br /></div><div>Rae Marie Livsey</div>
