Create A Supportive Environment That Allows Students To Choose Their Path Alyssa Albano, Founder Of The Fox Den Learning.

 
Intro 
Alyssa Albano, Founder of The Fox Den Learning, since starting her teaching career at 16 years old, even from a young age, she could tell that not everyone learned the same way. She came to realize that students learn better when they’re guided by patient and understanding teachers who make lessons fun and engaging. Alyssa is from a small rural Canadian town that had limited programs and activities for kids so if you wanted to learn something, you didn't have much choice in who your teachers were and what type of programs you could participate in.  
 She was lucky to find a wonderful piano teacher who taught her to prioritize fun and fostered a love of music over progress. When Alyssa mentioned that she was interested in teaching, her piano teaxher encouraged and guided her! Thus marking the beginning of an amazing 15-year career in teaching. 
Alyssa is wholeheartedly invested in seeing children thrive in a positive learning environment. The best feeling in the world is knowing that she made a positive impact on someone's life– and that will always be a foundational key piece to the Fox Den Learning. Here your student can learn and explore at their own pace with supportive and understanding teaching techniques and instill a healthy relationship with learning that embraces curiosity and enriches a child’s education from the ground up. 
Top three takeaways 
Virtual classes and lessons offer access to a new world of teachers, which allows students to find someone who is truly a great fit for their learning needs and styles. 
The introduction of virtual learning has opened so many doors to alternative teaching styles and programs. 
She wanted to create a supportive environment that allows students to choose their path, and we, as their teachers, adapt to their needs to help them reach their goals.

Homeschooling Doesn’t Need To Be Exactly Like School With Dr. Vanessa Rowan, Founder of Learning Biology with Dr. Vanessa

 
Intro 
Dr. Vanessa Rowan, Founder of Learning Biology with Dr. Vanessa. Ever since she was little, she have had a love for science and a fascination with how the body works.  As she grew older, she began to work in labs and do research. She loved discovering new things!  After she received my PhD in 2009, she began teaching Anatomy and Physiology, among other classes, at the University level.   
The classes she taught were difficult and she enjoyed being able to take those difficult subjects and make them easier to understand.  She have found a passion for teaching and increasing health literacy.  The one thing we must understand is that even though not everyone will go into the medical field, there are instances in which you must be able to advocate for yourself or a loved one.  The more you know about your body and how it works, the better you can understand and form those decisions.
