Cindi Garrett
Cindi graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Science degree in business communications. She married Jeff two years later and partnered with him in ministry for over 30 years while homeschooling their four children, who all, first and foremost along with their spouses, love the Lord deeply, something she and Jeff thank God for constantly! Additionally, they all graduated from college and now all thrive in their respective fields: engineering, nursing, graphic design, and logistics. Her passion for teaching and for writing grew as she taught at homeschool co-ops for over two decades. Now, Cindi’s discovered a love for online teaching. She loves Zoom! The breakout rooms, whiteboards, annotating function, screen sharing and collaborating all create an interactive, effective online classroom experience. Going online allows her to teach students who live anywhere, broadening her sphere, and creating more flexibility since her children live in four different time zones. She brings energy, insight, wisdom, and passion to her teaching! As her teaching format changes, her passion remains the same – to encourage, challenge and equip homeschool students with strong confidence in their academic writing and critical thinking skills, which will last a lifetime! In her free time, she enjoys worship and time with the Lord, walking, hiking, kayaking, cooking, playing board games, and of course, reading and writing!
