With over thirty-three years experience in the field of education, ranging from a reading/writing specialist to classroom teacher and from homeschooling teacher to homeschooling mother, from college advisor for homeschooling students to private tutor helping student prepare for high school/college admission process - Eva Goldstein-Meola has seen it all, done it all and, most importantly, loved every minute. In 2003, she began teaching homeschoolers writing which later developed into an online, all-inclusive environment. Open Tent Academy allows homeschoolers come together from all corners of the world to learn through interactive, live, engaging, online classes."I have known Eva, founder of OTA, for over ten years and cannot recommend her enough! My daughters attended live classes with her while living in Northern Virginia, and they are all excellent writers because of her! By founding OTA, she has expanded her love of learning and commitment to education to benefit students around the globe. Eva wants nothing more than to help parents on their educational journey with their children and does what it takes to make that happen!!" ~ Melanee Permann, Texas"My son was a very reluctant writer when he started taking classes with Ms. Eva, the founder of Open Tent Academy. Fast-forward three years and I have a teenager who writes willingly and thoughtfully. He found the IEW classes that he took through Open Tent to be very well organized. He benefitted from the class structure, as well as the use of the online learning management system. It was easy to find everything that he needed for his assignments, and he liked that he could go back and re-watch his class if he missed it or if he had questions. I highly recommend Ms. Eva and the Open Tent Academy for online classes." ~ Kelly Berryman, Virginia
