I have been a homeschool mom for 18 years and my oldest graduated two years ago. I have six children between 10 and 19. Two of my children have autism and intellectual disability so I am very familiar with special needs. I love doing testing and evaluating and look forward to helping your family with this process!

Rowena Anderson has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and a Masters of Arts from Liberty University; her teaching certification is in the area of middle school mathematics. Rowena’s first tutoring experience was as a junior in high school, when she helped a teacher’s daughter with geometry. Since then, she’s assisted students in kindergarten through college, with everything from basic reading skills to intermediate algebra. Rowena has served as a church camp counselor and youth group sponsor and currently directs a Classical Conversations Challenge class. In her free time, she watches movies, expands her Christmas décor collection, reads books, visits Walt Disney World and works an occasional algebra equation.

My name is Zach Carmody, and I bring over 15 years of experience teaching middle school students. For 13 years, I taught math and science in a brick-and-mortar school, working closely with students who have special needs. Currently, I teach 6th–8th grade math virtually, and I have experience teaching math from kindergarten through 9th grade.

My name is Vanessa Podkomorski, and I am a homeschooling mom of three with 16 years of teaching experience. I spent 10 years teaching science to students in grades 6–12 before beginning my own homeschooling journey in 2020. I also work part time as a teacher with Mobile STEM Academy, where I participate in hands-on science labs with other homeschoolers. My passion is helping families feel confident and successful in their homeschool journey. I believe learning thrives in a peaceful, encouraging, and understanding environment, and I strive to support both students and parents as they grow and learn together.
