Hi, I’m Bettina, Homeschool Mom & Educator
Meet Mrs. Bettina
I’m a homeschool mom, online teacher, and curriculum creator with a background in biology. Over the years, I’ve taught students worldwide in a variety of settings, from one-on-one lessons to large online classes. I’m also a Kahoot! Ambassador, which lets me connect with teachers and learners through interactive games and creative approaches to learning. Everything I design is built to make education easier for parents and teachers, while helping kids discover the wonder in every subject.
When I’m not creating lessons or teaching, you can usually find me loving on my pets, reading a good book, or crocheting something cozy.
How I Teach
My approach is hands-on, age-flexible, and curiosity-driven. I’ve learned that kids thrive when they can see, touch, talk about, and try something for themselves, so my lessons always invite them to engage with the material in real ways.
Many follow my “See, Hear, Do, Discuss” method, which builds in rhythm and reflection. Just as important, I make sure there’s space for joy, because when learning feels fun and approachable, it sticks. Whether it’s science, geography, or character lessons, I design with both structure and flexibility so you can adapt it to your own learners.
Who I Create For
It all began with my own three kids, now teenagers, when I started filling in curriculum gaps with simple printables. Friends soon asked to use them too, and before long I was sharing lessons with homeschoolers and students all over the world in a variety of learning situations. What started as small resources grew into full curriculum.
Today, I design for homeschoolers, co-ops, teachers, and busy families, anyone who wants learning to be both meaningful and manageable. Whether you’re teaching one child at the kitchen table or guiding a whole group, these resources are created to work in real life.
