I need to tell you that you
are one of the best teachers I have ever had. Every class I've ever taken with
you has been amazing.
I remember that
I was so nervous at the start of public speaking, but at the end of the
classes, I was just so excited to get up and speak. I loved the research that
went into it, but I also loved just getting up and interacting with the
audience.
Writing has
been amazing as well. I've picked up on things that I hadn't fully understood
before. I also learned that I love doing the journalism writing!
Each
subject you teach, I enjoy, and even though you have so many students, you take
the time to make each of us feel special. I can't quite find the words to say
how much I appreciate you, but the least I can say is that you are an awesome
teacher.

I’ve
homeschooled my 7 kids for 20 years now and this is the first outside
class group we’ve participated in. We did it at the encouragement of
someone I mentored before her first year of homeschooling. Her children
had been in private schools as well as public and she loved Freya’s
classes. So, we skeptically tried it with my youngest son. He
really, really did not want to take middle school science because he’d
convinced himself he hated science, especially biology. Well, the first
week, he was so impressed with anatomy class and Freya’s teaching style.
He has continued to really enjoy it each week sense—even the homework.
Initially, he fought the lab reports, but after doing two, decided that he
loves them and wants to do even more of them than are assigned. Crazy
kid!
As a parent, I
love these things about the class:
·
The syllabus is very
clearly laid out with all assignments given at the beginning of the year
(meaning you have the paperwork, explanation and dates in hand)
·
Each week, Freya sends
a Power-Point of what was covered in class (what a lovely surprise that was)
·
She upfronts
potentially controversial topics with parents ahead of time
·
Freya allows parents
to decide how much or how little homework and graded assignments to do
·
She is very
encouraging of the children’s efforts and flexible about issues going on within
the family
·
She has been very open
and gets information out as early as possible.
So, that’s a
lot of love, especially when I haven’t even taken the time to meet Freya
face-to-face!

I cannot
recommend Freya highly enough. My son is in a 2 day a week/all subjects
included program and is in 10th grade. I realized that he was not writing
enough and so I enrolled him in Freya's High School writing class. It is
fantastic and well worth the 40 minute drive and extra day away from home.
Her teaching style is enthusiastic, structured and supportive. My
son learned more about writing in 3 short months with her, than he did all last
year. I was so pleased, that I hired Freya to teach my children and a few
of their friends a writing class in the summer for a week.
I knew Freya
from a speech class that my son took while in 9th grade. She was
fantastic, and helped her students learn very disciplined ways of writing
speeches and delivering them. My son learned so much and was challenged
as well as encouraged. I have recommended Freya to many friends
and would have my kids sit under her teaching any chance I get.
