Expert Florida teachers your child will meet live each day.
English / Language Arts
Wendy Velasquez is a National Board-Certified ELA teacher with 12 years of experience guiding middle-school writers from rough draft to polished prose. Her passion for diverse literature and Socratic discussion helps students develop critical-thinking skills and a lifelong love of reading. Wendy has been featured in Edutopia for her project-based approach to teaching rhetoric and creative nonfiction.
Mathematics
Holding a PhD in Applied Mathematics, Hilda Pinto spent a decade as a NASA data-modeling specialist before shifting to education. She makes algebra and geometry tangible through real-world simulations—think calculating Mars-lander trajectories to master quadratic functions. Hilda’s classes consistently score in the 95th percentile on statewide assessments.
Science
Nancy Goyal is a certified STEM educator and former biotech researcher who brings lab-bench discoveries into the virtual classroom. From DNA extraction labs you can do at home to citizen-science biodiversity projects, Nancy’s lessons ignite curiosity and meet Next Gen Science Standards. She’s a two-time recipient of the TNTP “Reimagine Teaching” award.
Social Studies
Penny Emerson is a Fulbright Scholar and former museum curator who turns history into an immersive experience. Her classes feature artifact-based investigations and mock UN debates that build research, empathy, and public-speaking skills. Penny’s students routinely take top honors in National History Day competitions.
Financial Literacy
Ari Blandon, CFA, spent 15 years in portfolio management before pivoting to education. She specializes in age-appropriate personal-finance curricula that demystify budgeting, investing, and Bitcoin fundamentals. Ari’s capstone “Teen Investor Challenge” has helped students collectively save over $200 k in simulated portfolios.
Social Studies
Adrianne Ramos is a National Geographic Grosvenor Teacher Fellow who has trekked six continents to bring global perspectives to her classroom. Her project-based units pair primary-source analysis with virtual-reality field trips, fostering cultural literacy and critical inquiry.
Mathematics
Stephanie Mejia is a civil-engineer-turned-educator who brings design-thinking to math instruction. Students tackle real-world challenges—building scale bridges and coding Python to model traffic flow—while mastering algebra through calculus. Her learners average two grade-level gains per year.
Science
Desiree Blandon is a marine biologist who has logged 1,200 diver hours on coral-reef restoration projects. She brings that field expertise to hands-on labs where students monitor water quality and model ecosystems in real time, aligning with AP Environmental Science standards.
“Ms. Wendy turned my daughter Sophia’s dread of writing into pride. Two months in, she’s crafting five-paragraph essays with vivid word choice—and volunteering to read them aloud!”
“Dr. Hilda showed my son Lucas how quadratic functions launch Mars landers. Now he begs for extra problem sets and scored 96 % on his end-of-year math exam.”
“Thanks to Ms. Nancy’s at-home DNA extraction lab, our kitchen turned into a science studio. Ethan’s curiosity is off the charts and he just aced his first NGSS benchmark test.”
“Ms. Ari turned allowance into opportunity—my teen now tracks stocks, sets savings goals, and explains Bitcoin to relatives at dinner. Financial habits changed for good!”
“Ms. Penny’s mock-UN debates sparked a passion for history in my sixth-grader. He researches primary sources on his own and leads family discussions about world events.”
Students meet for 60-minute live sessions Monday–Thursday, with Fridays reserved for teacher office hours and project work. This four-day rhythm keeps momentum high while giving families flexibility for field trips, enrichment, or catch-up time at week’s end.
Absolutely. Eaton is an approved Step Up for Students vendor. At checkout you’ll choose to pay with “Scholarship,” then you will receive an email with instructions on how to finalize the payment.
We cap cohorts at 10 students so teachers can adjust pacing weekly. Each unit includes optional extension projects for advanced learners and “re-teach” mini-sessions for kids who need a slower tempo, ensuring everyone moves confidently through the 36-week calendar.
We use rolling admissions: as soon as a grade-level list reaches 10 confirmed students, the cohort’s live classes begin the following Monday. You’ll receive a welcome packet with exact dates at least 10 days in advance so you can prep.
Just a laptop or Chromebook (released 2019 or later), a stable internet connection (10 Mbps+), and a headset with mic. All coursework runs in Google Workspace and Canvas LMS—no paid software or special hardware required. Our tech team offers a 15-minute onboarding call to test everything before Day 1.
