Who Am I?
My name is Elizabeth Kouma (kōw-muh).
I’m primarily a follower of Christ, wife, and mama of 4 loved children.
I'm also a Spanish teacher and homesteader.

Education:
In 2013, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Spanish as well as a teacher’s license for teaching K-12 Spanish from Colorado State University.
Experience Snapshot:

Every year since then I have taught private Spanish classes for children and youth ages 3 and up with classes ranging from about 2-12 students

I utilize a highly effective method of teaching called TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling), learn more about that below
More about me:
Born in Arizona, I grew up in Colorado. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2013.
For many years, life was a whirlwind: a move to Wyoming, a move within Wyoming, a move back to Colorado, another move within Colorado, several job changes for my husband, 3 home births, 1 adoption, move to Missouri! Whew!
Now, life in the southeast Missouri country is settling down after many busy years. We currently have lots of bees, chickens, and an orchard as we work toward raising a bunch of our own food holistically and naturally!

Here are some of the things that I love:
God. My family. Gardening. Homesteading. Teaching Spanish!
