"My history teacher was one of my favorite teachers. She made lessons interesting and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. Her teaching methods helped me stay engaged and learn the material effectively. She was helpful, organized, and made the class a positive learning experience."

“My son has taken all these history courses (in order) up to this point and loves them. The projects are unique, and the simulations help him apply content he's learning in a creative manner.  ”

"Excellent class! Engaging and dynamic. My learner really enjoyed Janelle´s Middle Ages and Early Modern Era class and learned a lot throughout the semester. Her simulations are full of decision-making, creative and critical thinking and fun. The "worst monarch" project was a highlight. Highly recommended!"

"My daughter has been in Ms. Janelle’s classes for two years. She absolutely loves her classes and has learned so much. Ms. Janelle is an engaged teacher, and makes challenging material accessible and compelling. It can be hard to connect with people in an online format, but Ms. Janelle is able to connect with her students and see and appreciate them as individuals. My daughter was truly sad when this class ended because she’s going back to traditional school next year and won’t have the opportunity to take more classes from Ms. Janelle."

"Ms. Janelle has done it again! I had three kids in this class-- all with very different learning styles and personalities-- and they all thoroughly enjoyed it and came away with a better grasp of US History. I highly, highly recommend any of her classes."

"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!!!"

“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! "
