Hi, I'm Rebecca. My journey so far has included a degree and brief career in structural engineering, a master's degree in teaching physics, and over a dozen years of experience in the education field including teaching in public high schools, teaching formal and informal homeschool classes, private tutoring, and working with homeschooling families as a liason to the public school system. In 2016, I helped co-found EverWild, an outdoor immersion program in the LA area. Most importantly, I am a mother to two incredible souls who are thriving in our passion-led homeschooling world. I spend my days staying human through art and community and mindful presence.

What has influenced me

What drives me

My teaching style is influenced by self-directed learning, unschooling, project-based education, Waldorf, impassioned projects, teaching with the great books, Pythagorean schooling, Socratic classroom discussions, and a host of other revolutionary, ancient, and holistic educational approaches. I also incorporate the influence of personal discovery and healing coursework (such as personality assessments and The Artist's Way) into my educational approach.

I am driven by the belief that each of us has a Best Life to live and that we all have a deep desire to self-actualize. I am driven to lead my own Best Life. I learn from nature. I aspire to change the world through education. Besides designing new educational programs, I love spending my time planning a practical Utopia, hypothesizing theoretical physics, and pondering the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
