As an English Language and Literature graduate from Oxford University who went straight into a career in teaching, I know just how influential a great book can be on a young mind.
I know how a book can open you up to exciting new worlds and ideas.
How it can transform and shape your thinking.
This being so, I’m excited to be developing Charlotte-Mason-inspired history curricula using the classic tales that were a formative influence on my life.
I look forward to seeing you in one of my courses!
Best,
Samantha (your teacher)
