If you share the belief that education should help your child figure out their strengths and foster skills supporting self-sufficiency, critical thinking, and live a life filled with creativity, I ask you to support I Learn My Way. 

​

When I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, I was a long-term substitute teacher. As the first person to go to college in my family, I had done well to finish. However, I did not know what I wanted to do and had no post-graduation plans.  I did not want to go into teaching because I encountered a principal and multiple administrators that wanted me to pass along student athletes in middle school who could barely read on a second-grade level.

​

In graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin, I founded a nonprofit youth organization for children with few opportunities to explore life choices that ran for over a decade until left and began my family.

​

One of the most rewarding experiences that I have ever had was the blessing to be able to homeschool my children. Homeschooling is an in-depth experience that many parents don’t get. After my family situation changed, my children had to return to public school. Follow my blog as I chronicle the horrors accompanying returning them to school.)

 

Because I was so fascinated by how my children learned differently, I became a certified teacher. It saddens me that not much has changed in education. With all the constraints, requirements, and unrealistic expectations put on teacher, very seldom do students graduate with a solid understanding of their talents and abilities and how their gifts will help them live fulfilling lives in the world of work. 

​

After a Lupus flare-up and being diagnosed with severe asthma during the pandemic, I could not teach in the classroom. Offering online classes allows me to pursue my passion applying digital media to educational technology, help guide students towards college and career, and support my family.  One of the things that motivated me was reading math and science educational plays that me and my children created while we were homeschooling.  The plays helped make concepts come to life and acting helped both my children who are on the autism spectrum, as well as me.

 

I am sharing these plays under the Shop link.  I hope they help someone else enjoy and engage with learning.  I also hope that you give your feedback and thoughts on improving them.  My purpose is making education efficient, fun, and purposeful. Many of these plays make concepts come to life and efficiently combine common educational concepts.

 

Exploration helps students make sense of world and find a discipline that ignites a spark. The more people we help young people develop self-efficacy and self-fulfillment the more they can focus on inner strengths and growth instead of comparisons unsuited to their talents.

​

I Learn My Way is driven by making education efficient, engaging, and purposeful. When I say efficient, products, lessons, and courses are designed to help young people integrate fundamentals into simulated situations to provide experience on how the skills are used in real life. 

​

In our personal finance class, we teach students about sunk costs which also applies in business. In the entrepreneurship course, we take fundamentals of Microsoft Office and combine them with students’ interest to create small businesses. In the Birdie, Mamie, and Rep’T’s World Tour, elementary concepts such as animal classifications and continents are combined using rhyming and site words that build literacy and reenforce social studies concepts.

​

As the founder of I Learn My Way LLC, I ask for you to try our products and give us your feedback.

Best regards,

T. Nicole Eutsey
