GEOMETRY

Geometry is offered by Mrs. Linda Neuhoff of Signal Mountain, Tennessee.

Mrs. Neuhoff graduated from Purdue University, magna cum laude, with a BA in French Education. She lived a year in Strasbourg, France attending the Université de Strasbourg and traveling throughout the Continent and the British Isles. Upon returning home, she taught in Indiana for one year at La Ville Jr.-Sr. High School and two years at La Lumiere School. After relocating to Tennessee, she owned and operated Walden Preschool for 13 years during which time she met her future husband, Tony. She homeschooled their two daughters for 21 years. Mrs. Neuhoff has additional experience teaching classes and workshops for groups of homeschool students including 14 years of Art History & Painting studio classes, 13 years of Sharing Shakespeare workshops, 2 years of Precision Chemistry with Lab, 2 years of Introduction to Public Speaking, as well as co-teaching physical science and biology courses. Now widowed and retired from homeschooling, she is returning to the classroom to bring her love of beauty and knowledge to a new group of students desiring a classical education. She is renewed in spirit by painting with her daughters and friends, walking long distances in God’s creation, sewing costumes for the CSTHEA Gilbert & Sullivan Homeschool Players, and wrangling the kindergartners in the Catechism of the Good Shepherd class at Saint Augustine Church.
