"I'm Lolita, a homeschool mom who loves helping students improve their English and writing skills. I graduated with honors from the University of Florida with a major in history and a minor in art history. I homeschooled my two daughters, who are currently thriving at UF.

I can help students learn by meeting them where they are and providing both the encouragement and the know-how for them to succeed. I look forward to the opportunity to help your child reach their full potent" less...
