"Mrs. Janelle is a fantastic teacher that makes history fun! They do a lot of games and simulations to learn about different civilizations. You may start to question if they’re learning anything while having so much fun, but I can assure you, when my daughter did her final project I was blown away by all she had learned! Highly recommend!"

"Awesome class! We LOVE Janelle Hopkins!! I wish everyone had a history teacher like her- both the kids who love history and those who haven’t found the passion for it will be equally enthralled by her classes! This is no ordinary class- each of her classes are an adventure that my kids never want to miss! Thank you thank you!!!"

"This was another amazing class for my learner by Ms. Janelle! She does an excellent job of helping students understand and connect to the topic. Highly recommend this class, and any class by Ms. Janelle!!"

“I am so so so impressed with Ms. Janelle! My 7th grader LOVED her class. She keeps the kids highly engaged. Janelle also assigned projects that my son really loved and looked forward to completing. I've never seen him so excited (or any child for that matter) to learn about ancient history. I will say Percy Jackson was the first major influence on his desire to learn about ancient history, and then Ms. Janelle made him all the more passionate about the subject. Every week he looked forward to class. He said out of all his homeschool classes history was his favorite this year! Blew my mind :) We already have him signed up for the next class in her series. Can't wait! Thank you so so much, Janelle. You really care about what you do, and you are highly revered in our house. It is a serious talent to captivate children's attention when it comes to history. And you did a superb job this semester. Amazing!! 10 stars!! ”

"We love, love this amazing teacher, and I am sure you’ll love her too if you try a class with her! Janelle is absolutely fabulous and she has been our teacher of choice for the last four years for anything Social studies. Her classes are not your usual lecture style, dry classes, but fantastic discussions on some highly interesting topics which keep students engaged at all times. They are perfect for out-of the box thinkers who want to dig deeper and improve their critical thinking and analyzing skills! Janelle gently guides her students and always teaches them how to think and not what to think. While there are many social studies teachers out there, your kids will be impressed with Janelle’s knowledge and highly engaging teaching style! Highly highly recommended! "

"One of my learners is a history buff and benefited tremendously from the conversational aspect of the classes. Both my learners appreciated the various hands on activities done during and suggested for after class, which made the learners reflect on the backgrounds within which events occurred. My learner who is not head over heels with history, is heading to high school and feels confident, comfortable, and actually excited about studying more history. Both of my learners felt engaged and full participants in their learning. They recommend this class with teacher Janelle Hopkins"

"This is what my daughter had to say about the class: "Jannelle is a fantastic teacher! She's knowledgeable and passionate about the Cold War, and her interactive lessons are delightful and easy to follow. The homework and final assignment were not only fun, but they also helped cement my understanding of the post-WW2 world. Sign up as soon as you can!". I whole heartedly agree with her. "

“My daughter loved this class and was excited for it every week. The history is taught in a very interactive manner which keeps the kids highly engaged and I really appreciate the homework and end project at this age level to help teach her responsibility and time management skills as well as history.”

"This class is fantastic!! Lessons included simulations which my son absolutely loved—what a neat way to learn history!! Students were taught historical reference for a given civilization, then in the simulation, they would make a series of decisions to see how they (or their kingdom, etc) would perform. Super engaging lessons and activities, and great communication between students & teacher. My son definitely plans to take more classes with Janelle Hopkins! ."
