Whitney Anderson I am so excited to become a first time instructor at Generations this school year. I graduated from Faith Christian Academy, where I met my husband in 2012. We now have 3 beautiful children; Ledger (6), Lakelee (2), and Lock (4 months). My husband and I own an insurance agency in Oconee County, protecting our community's assets. My personal hobby is fitness. If I’m not teaching at home or working at the office, then you can find me at Burn Bootcamp Oconee. I’m very passionate about becoming a stronger version of myself with the support of encouraging friends and trainers. I will be teaching Mini Makers and Little Makers. My hope for my students is to help them explore their creativity, develop fine motor skills, and learn the value of handmade work. I look forward to meeting your family and getting to know your sweet children this year.
Amber Blount My husband and I are high school age sweethearts going on 17 years. The lord has blessed us with three children of our own— Rhett, Lynlea and Eden. Ever since the fall of 2024, the Lord has entrusted us with fostering a family member’s little girl. Before having children and homeschooling, I earned my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and taught briefly in a Gwinnett county elementary school for two years. After becoming a new mother, I felt God calling me to stay home to focus on raising our children and eventually homeschooling them. As a former homeschooled child myself (third through sixth grade), I deeply treasure the freedom it provides our family to do the things we love and spend lots of time together with friends and family…especially with my husband’s very unpredictable work schedule. In our free time, we enjoy camping in our camper as a family. This will be my first year teaching at Generations and I could not be more excited to be back doing what I love in an environment that I love even more!
Amanda Bucha After earning my art degree at UGA, I had the opportunity to study at Arrowmont School of Arts & Crafts and The Art Institute of Chicago. I spent about a decade as a working artist, creating and exhibiting my work before transitioning into the textile industry. When my first child was a baby my heart ached to homeschool. Everyday, I thank God for making a way and for the blessing of this journey. Sharing my love of art with my children and our homeschool community has been such a rewarding joy.
Jordan Crumbley I am very excited to be an instructor at Generations for the third year. I was a teacher in Clarke county for 3 years before staying home to take care of my three children. My husband Daniel and I live in Clarke county with our three children, Lydia(6), Abbie(4), and Ezra(3). Daniel is in construction locally and we attend Beech Haven Church in Athens. I look forward to teaching Girls Bible study again this year, and I cannot wait to work on math with our middle school students too!
Liz Frye My family has been part of this homeschool community since 2021. My husband, Michael, and I have 4 children; Scarlett (10), JT (10), Rosie (6) and Sam (4). My husband is an author and minister. We have been homeschooling since 2020. Before homeschooling, I taught elementary school for 7 years in Clarke County. At Generations, I teach Literature Links, Creative Writing, Book Club and Kids in Discipleship.
Amy Higgins Curiosity is my middle name! I just love to learn more about "Why" and "How" - concerning everything God made!!! Over the past 19 years, I've taught many students in homeschool enrichment programs. You name it - we've done it! From volcanoes and laws of motion to electromagnets and ears! I've been married to Brad for 33 years. We have 2 children and 4 grandchildren! I homeschooled my children for 12 years and they were some of the best days of my life! I like to go camping and read a good mystery book and I walk and exercise on a regular basis. I LOVE tending to my flowers and exploring the amazing things God made outside in my yard! I'm a follower of Christ and I received salvation on Mother's Day 1996. Since then, Jesus has been shaping me into someone new - to be more like Him. I strive to point others to Him in the way I teach and live life every day.

I’m thrilled to teach Spanish Fundamentals for Generations Homeschool Community so that I can share the skills and talents God has given me to bless others. I was born in Boston, MA to Puerto Rican parents where Christianity and the Spanish language was a part of my daily life. Along with Spanish being my first language, I also studied Spanish at the University of Central Florida where I earned a BA in Psychology. Throughout my life I often traveled to Puerto Rico to visit my grandparents who recently died at the ripe old age of 97! I also spent one winter break in Ecuador where my aunt and her family live. Besides teaching and traveling, I also enjoy going to church, family, friends, outings, reading, cookouts at the lake, bible study and prayer, and my husband who enjoys these things as well.
Chris Langley I live in Monroe with my wife, Kristin, who also teaches at Generations, and our four children. Prior to teaching at Generations, I was a high school history teacher, volleyball, soccer and basketball coach and trainer, and youth sports camp director. I have a passion for the Lord and helping children learn to love Jesus as well. At Generations, I have the pleasure of teaching Biblical Manhood, Elementary PE, World HIstory, Foundations in Faith and Team Sports. I hope that through these classes, students will learn to know and love the Lord first and foremost, while also being knowledgeable and wise about the world around them and developing good habits and behavior.
Kristin Langley My children and I have been a part of this homeschool community since 2021. I have 4 children and my wonderful husband, "Mr. Chris," also teaches at Generations. Before having children and homeschooling, I was a high school math teacher at a public school. I am truly honored to teach Liberty Girls & Intermediate Math Games, Gameschool, and Handicrafts. Helping my students learn and grow while building sweet relationships year after year is my favorite part of teaching at Generations. At home, I enjoy baking sourdough bread and cookies, Georgia football, the Gymdogs, iced coffee, and puzzles. My family and I truly cherish the Generations community, which feels like a second home.
Sara McElroy I was raised in Oconee County and graduated from Oconee County High in 2011. Now I'm a homeschool mom of two boys. I'm blessed to be an instructor for two of my biggest passions; cooking and Jiu-Jitsu. Before becoming a stay at home mom, I worked in some of the best kitchens in Athens and ran a catering business. My family discovered Jiu-Jitsu 6 years ago. My boys, who are now 7 and 9 years old, both started training by age 3. I earned my blue belt this past year and assist in coaching the kids program at our gym. I look forward to continuing to share my knowledge of both these hobbies and passions with the community at Generations.
Suzanne McDaniel I love guiding children in learning and helping them make new friendships. I began teaching in 2008 in Barrow County and then Columbia County, mainly 1st and 2nd grade. When our twins were born I stayed home and we have been homeschooling since PreK. I have been married to my husband, Thomas for 22 years and our boys Charlie and Clay are 12. We love camping and finding adventure outside. This will be my fourth year teaching at Generations. I adore teaching our PreK-3rd grade studnets and I hope your family finds a home with us at Generations.
Marie Nimmons My husband, Allen, and I have been married for 19 years. We have been blessed with 6 children ranging from 4 to 16. Our family has been homeschooling since the beginning. Before homeschooling, I was a middle school science teacher & basketball coach. However, I have taught history and math as well. I have a bachelor’s degree in middle grades education with a master’s degree in educational leadership. I have been fortunate to teach in many different settings and genuinely love learning new things. My goal in class is to bring enthusiasm for learning to my students so that they can grow to appreciate all that the Lord has created and done! I am thrilled to be at Generations and so are my kids!
Brittany Robertson I currently live in historic down town Covington with my husband and our three children. I work as a professional cake decorator & baker. I attended Gainesville State College for Early Childhood education, and put myself through college working in daycares and preschools. I took time off from the work force because I felt a strong calling to stay home with my children while they were toddlers. Working in my own home allowed me to develop a knack for home baking, gardening, & canning. I did eventually return to education in a part time capacity as a long term substitute teacher in Barrow county. After Covid impacted life as we knew it, I decided to homeschool my children and I’ve never looked back. I’m thrilled to share my passion and creativity in the classroom at Generations.
Kathleen Rush I am excited to teach at Generations this year. I have been married to my husband, Kale, for 24 years. We have two boys, whom we have homeschooled since pre-K. Our oldest graduated from homeschool and will be in his fourth/final year in college! Our youngest will be a senior in high school, and he is busy making plans for college. For 10 years we served the Lord in East Asia as missionaries (2004-2014). Currently, we live in Social Circle and are members of First Baptist Church where my husband is one of the associate pastors. I love teaching IEW and believe it is an excellent way to learn how to write. I previously taught IEW for 5 years with Classical Conversation, and I have been teaching IEW and grammar classes at Summit Academy for the past 3 years.
Jess Saladino My husband and I moved to Athens in 2007 right after we were married. I had finished my Bachelor’s in Chemistry from UCF in Orlando and spent a year interning at CLF Wesley Foundation. I finished with my master’s degree in chemistry from UGA in 2011. We have been in Athens ever since and now have four children we are homeschooling. While I spend most of my time as a homeschool teacher and personal chauffeur, I also enjoy weight lifting, walking, and baking with my kids. I have always loved the quality of the classes offered at Generations, and I am excited to contribute this year with high school chemistry and look forward to making this subject fun and approachable.
Marissa Toney I love the Lord and His Word. I am a proud wife to my husband, DT. We’re blessed with two wonderful children, Tia and Kairos. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Berry College and a Master’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of North Georgia. I have had the privilege of teaching in both public and private schools. I’m currently thrilled to be working as a strength and conditioning coach at D1 Training.

Stephanie Walsh We've been part of the Generations Community for the past 4 years and I have taught for three of those. I've been married to Kevin for 10 years and we have 2 boys attending Generations, Thaddeus (10) and Bennett (6). Prior to Generations, we lived in Chicago where I earned my degree in Secondary Education & History with endorsements in science and teaching English as a second language. I taught middle school history for several years in Chicago while working toward a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. In the middle of all this, we decided to move south to live near family and raise our children outside of the school system. We attend Bethlehem Church and I enjoy participating in bible study, gardening, creating things, giving my husband tasks he did not ask for, and watching the shenanigans of my boys. This year I am teaching World Geography, Hands On History, Physical Science, World Geography and Literature, and Countries and Cultures
Melanie Wilson I teach the Pre-ballet and Ballet Essentials classes. I have taught ballet for 4 years, and I have danced myself for 20 years and counting. I teach mainly in the Cecchetti style, covering as many of the basics as I can, and incorporate a lot of classical music and fun things I remember from when I was a young student. I look forward to this coming year, and hope to have many young ballerinas grow to love ballet as much as I do!
