Rebecca Aimone

Science

My name is Rebecca Aimone. I am a Certified Master Tutor and Teacher. I have worked in the professional world as a pharmaceutical chemist and research scientist contracted with NASA.   I thoroughly enjoy introducing my students to the wonders of Science in our world. My background is in chemistry and mathematics. I tutor all ages in my private time. In my free time, I like to train my dogs, take trips to the lake, and go fishing with my son.  I am always fascinated by the science at work around me and love to help my students understand the science in the world around them. I look forward to working with your students.

Lela Lunsford is excited to be a part of the On The GO family teaching Art this year. (And we are very excited as well.) She is a dedicated teacher and parent of two current and former homeschool teenagers (17 and 19). She enjoys the freedom that homeschooling offers her and her children, and that they can embrace their individuality and interests. Lela has a Montessori background in teaching play and social skills to children with exceptional abilities as well as developing peers through play and art. She looks to combine her joy of teaching children and love for the arts, along with the active-learning atmosphere at On The GO Academy, to help make this year great!
