We provide a Montessori based cottage school group in Geneva. We dedicated space in my home to create a beautiful environment custom designed for this purpose.

We have walking access to miles of nature trails and wetlands.

Our hands on materials support learners at many different academic levels. We have a capacity of seven students. We have five currently. Students must be above age five.

We allow children to discover their unique gifts and interests then follow these interests to help each student reach his or her individual best. When we see a child's eyes light up with possibility, we have succeeded.

We hope every child will fall in love with learning. It has been our experience that once a child discovers his or her inner motivation and the inherent fun in learning, they become hungry to learn about things they may not have been open to previously. Instead of having students study for a particular test or hastily write a paper, we hope to foster lifelong learners. Over time our students provide their maximum effort because they have learned to enjoy what they do.

Although this sounds unlikely at first, last year the students chose to read Plato, Aristotle, Socrates and Nietsche.

I have 14 years of teaching experience. I have worked with infants, toddlers, preschool children, kindergarten, early elementary, middle school and college students.

Unfortunately, I do not have experience with high school aged children.

References from parents and students are available upon request.

I am certified by the state of Illinois to teach middle and high school English, language arts, reading, and social science. In graduate school, I gained experience teaching middle school language arts and high school English courses. Additionally, last year I served as a substitute teacher for grades one thru twelve. In this position, I implemented lesson plans on numerous different subject matters, and I also worked individually with students as a tutor. During my internship teaching high school English, I designed a science fiction literature unit and used my curriculum development skills on various other projects. I am interested in teaching the classical curriculum, which hinges on the great books, and working individually with students as a teacher or tutor.

Hi! Our names are Janne Kannelmae and Joanna Praats and we are students from Estonia, Europe, and we are working in Mount Prospect. It"s very nice here and everybody is really friendly :). We are showing The Southwestern Company student handbooks here to families with kids and a lot of families will be getting these books to help out with homework (the set goes from 3.grade up to finishing highschool). Basically it"s a quick ready reference with 69 subjects, world atlas, motivational tips and a lot of shortcuts. It also has German, Spanish, French and Latin languages with dictionaries and these are designed to make the studytime a lot more productive.
A lot of families in Mount Prospect are getting this study program, and their kids go to different schools (Lincoln, Lions, Raymond, Mt. Prospect Highschool, Fairview, St.Paul... ). We thought that this might interest families who do homeschooling, that"s the reason we wrote here (hope it"s the right place!).
If there are any families who might be interested in taking a look at these, they can mail us (we don"t have cellphones in here). If they like the books, that"s great! If not, that"s ok too! We look foward to responses!
