Meet Our Tutors
Hi, I’m Trisha Harmon. Since I was a little, I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love learning and love children. My education included Montessori school, public school and homeschool. After high school, I taught math and science at a private school for two years and graduated from Utah State University in Speech Communications.
I have homeschooled my own children for 14 years and taken an active role in teaching others in various co-ops and commonwealths. Recently I enjoyed serving on the board of administration at Inspired Minds Academy commonwealth. Over the years I have mentored students and parents of all ages. I look forward to helping tutor at Lark Rise Hall.
