Nancy is originally from the United States, but gained her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Political Science from Richmond, The American University in London.
After graduation, Nancy went on to become a certified teacher, gaining her TEFL Certificate. Shortly afterwards, she moved to Madrid, Spain where she began her teaching career, teaching students of all ages, but mainly teenagers and adults, both in person and virtually.
She focused solely on teaching English as a second language for nearly 14 years before taking her love of history and the social sciences on the road through her work with the American Council for International Studies.
She worked with ACIS for nearly 11 years before settling in Barcelona, Spain. After working with other companies, Nancy could see that children were vastly overlooked when on tours, so she conceptualized, designed and implemented a series of age appropriate interactive educational games that engaged both children and adults, focused on the history and architecture of Spain. As her company gained popularity, she started retraining, gaining a solid knowledge base in business and marketing allowing her to expand her company. After nearly nine years at the head of her own business, Nancy is very excited to be back doing what she loves the most - working with children and educating the world’s future generations!

The success stories of children who chose to study at Educate Online

17 years old, from Cyprus

Elizaveta F.

Elizaveta’s goal was to enroll in a high-ranked overseas college in the media and entertainment field.

She prepared really well, so our role was to consult her and guide her through the admission process.

As a result, she got offers from a few top-ranked colleges and was offered a $30,000 scholarship from Ringling College.

Elizaveta decided to accept an offer from the school of her dream — Gnomon School.

Paritosh S.

By joining this program I learnt new and innovative things like how to code and decode a program. I always wanted to do something constructive and I found coding as the right option.

Whenever I have a doubt or I am facing a problem, I get instant response from teachers. This is a great platform to learn online.

17 years old, from Russia

Lesha S.

Lesha studies English Language, English Literature, US History & Physics with Educate Online, while attending his local school in Russia.

Lesha is an excellent student, attending 7 lessons per week and averaging 90% in his subjects. Lesha loves physics most of all, he says “the teacher doesn't give a lecture, but willingly participates in discussions and is always ready to work through the solutions that I propose, and draws parallels with other natural sciences."

17 years old, from Uganda

Hamsu S.

I recently just finished a semester of a psychology course, which was advised by Educate Online, to which I am very grateful for.

I have applied to Universities in the USA and my dream university is the University of Minnesota to which I got accepted, so I am looking forward to studying and working there. I would really like to thank my teacher Sarah because she made an excellent journey, she made the best journey I have ever had and I am really grateful for that.

16 years old, from Kenya
