Zoe’s love for science started from a young age, always scouring the house for scraps of material to conduct her own “personalized” experiments with. She then earned her degree in biology and became the “go-to” for giving science lessons during her time as a classroom assistant. Zoe considers herself a lifelong learner and attributes that to the freedom she had to be curious and learn independently as a kid thanks to her hybrid-homeschool education. #sciencefacts #newhomeschooler #scienceclass #sciencecurriculum #secularhomeschooling #onlinesupportgroup #learnlibre Homeschool Yo Kids Podcast shares organic conversations that promote confidence, a growth mindset, and are filled with inspiration and good energy.
