Hands-on enrichment for curious learners, and anatomy & physiology preparation for students considering medicine, nursing, and other health careers. Build on what students learn at school with careful observation, practical work, and personal guidance.
Leslie brings more than 30 years of teaching experience, including former Boise State University A&P instructor and Laboratory Coordinator roles. Public-school, private-school, and homeschool families are welcome.
Leslie is gathering interest before planning the next classes. Tell her what your student would like to learn and when your family might be available. She will discuss the proposed schedule, location, group size, duration, and fees before you decide. None of those details is confirmed yet.
Sharing interest is not enrollment, a reservation, or a payment commitment. A proposed class is not guaranteed to run.
More time to investigate, use real tools, keep a notebook, and ask questions. Students do not need a medical-career plan to enjoy meaningful science. After-school groups are one option being explored alongside other family-friendly formats.
Explore after-school scienceExplore how the body works while building the observation, laboratory, and study habits that advanced science demands. Leslie's university teaching experience is particularly relevant to students considering pre-med, nursing, and allied-health study.
Explore A&P and pre-health preparationPossible formats include after-school groups, Saturday labs, summer workshops, and private or small-group instruction. Activities and readiness will be discussed rather than assumed from a student's age alone.
Explore a guest lab, an enrichment series, or a recurring science block that complements your students' classroom work. Leslie can discuss your learning goals, student readiness, facilities, equipment, and supervision before a proposal is made.
Discuss a school or co-op programLeslie has taught across homeschool co-ops, public schools, and university classrooms. Biology and A&P are her strongest specialties. Her wider teaching experience helps students connect science with reading, writing, mathematics, and their own questions.
