Tutor: Kristi Beil is a licensed K-6 teacher and thought she would spend her career teaching in the public school system - but God had a different plan for her and her family. Kristi never considered the possibility of homeschooling her four children, but she did! After 16 years of homeschooling, her children are all graduated and now she continues teaching children and guiding other homeschool parents on their journey to educate their kids. Mrs. Beil has taught all ages of kids, in all manner of homeschool co-ops. Her natural curiosity, play, and love of learning bring her classes to life.

Tutor: Renee Ramler has been homeschooling her six children since 1997—and she’s not done yet! She has a special love for teaching young elementary students and helping them discover the joy of learning.

Renee brings lessons to life through rich stories, hands-on activities, and creative experiences that capture children’s imaginations. Whether exploring through living books, creating simple projects, or connecting lessons to everyday life, she delights in making each class meaningful and memorable.
