Kenneth Fleming kenneth@sciencebetweenthepages.com - Science - Dr. Kenneth Fleming has been teaching science in the Bryan/College Station community since 2009. His passion for understanding how people learn science inspired him to pursue graduate education at Texas A&M University. His research narrowed to investigating how difference-makers in the informal science education community shape exhibits and experiences that support families learning science together outside the classroom. As an adjunct faculty member at Texas A&M University, he continues to prepare current and future educators to work with young children and to teach science through hands-on activities.
Nicole Fleming nicole@sciencebetweenthepages.com - Science - Nicole's new science learning and teaching journey started in 2012 and as her oldest daughter grew and they continued to have more children, Nicole offered more and more science classes. One of Nicole's favorite things about teaching at the Community Homeschool Center is the freedom to teach topics that she is interested in and to share her excitement about God and His creation with so many families in the Brazos Valley. This flexibility has given her the freedom to give credit for all these wonders to our magnificent God and Creator.

Suzanne Gose suzanne.gose@gmail.com - Spanish and Public Speaking - Suzanne is a public school teacher turned homeschooler. Her degrees in Education, Public Speaking, Spanish, and English as a Second Language, plus a minor in religion gave her the spring board to teach many classes, as well as encourage other mothers. From 2002 on, she has been teaching Spanish and public speaking in the Brazos Valley in various locations on co-ops, but for the past 13 years has been teaching at the Community Homeschool Center, which she and several other homeschooling mothers founded in 2009. She is the happily married mother to five children, all homeschooled from the beginning with just two left to graduate. The lessons from her first classes in 2002 developed into the family business, FlipFlopSpanish.com and SpanishGeniuses.com. She travels the nation, giving workshops and seminars on various topics, as well as speaking on leadership panels and encouraging homeschoolers in every state.
