Welcome to Teaching with TLC!
I'm so glad that you hopped on over. I am
Tamara Chilver,
the founder of Teaching with TLC, which was created in 2006. My mission is to provide parents and teachers with creative and effective teaching tools.
A few things about me...
- I am a homeschool mom of five children- 4 boys and a girl. My youngest is a toddler and my oldest will graduate high school this year.
- My initials were TLC even before I was married.
- I love to wear jeans, flip-flops, and my hair in a ponytail. No girlie girl here.
- My bachelor’s degree is in elementary education, and my master’s degree is in elementary curriculum.
- I am a former elementary teacher. I taught 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th grade.
- I was a private school curriculum coordinator.
- I tutored elementary children for 12 years.
- I have been homeschooling my children since birth, but if you want to be technical about it, I have been homeschooling for 13 "school" years.
- I love teaching and I want my children to love learning.
- I have written two books-Tutoring Your Elementary Child with TLC and Homeschooling with TLC in the Elementary Grades. They are the first how-to-teach books for parents. I have also written several E-books and workshops.
- I have provided teaching tips for parent workshops, radio programs, television programs, magazines, and newspapers.
- I LOVE to blog because I enjoy sharing with parents. I get so excited about creative ideas!
- I'm so addicted to teaching blogs that I created www.teachingblogaddict.com It has the best teaching blogs I have ever seen- check it out! I promise you'll be hooked, too.
- I am not an expert. I am just like any other ordinary Mom that has the same challenges in life. I do seek the expert for His wisdom and direction.
1 Corinthians 3:10-11: By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
