Bio

About Lauren

Hi! My name is Lauren Crouch and my family currently resides in central Pennsylvania. I have 4 boys ranging from 16 down to 5, and our family was surprised with a baby girl during this past year. We have lived all over the States and have spent time overseas living in Indonesia for several years. I am an adventurous person, who loves creative writing, art, and music, and the great outdoors!

Teaching Experience

Being a passionate educator, I have had the privilege of taking my passion to teach all over the states, as well as overseas in Indonesia. From teaching art and language arts/math remediation in the states, to teaching art, Indonesian, and tutoring college-age students in English in Indonesia, I've had a wide range of teaching experiences. I have also spent 10+ years homeschooling my own children in several subjects, with strengths in teaching language arts and art.
