ChatGPT Image May 18, 2026, 07_27_13 AM.png

      Mrs. Livermore has been teaching at Glenforest School for the past four years, where she has taught art, social skills, and related subjects. Prior to her time at Glenforest, she taught at Trinity United Methodist Church and organized a variety of children’s camps and enrichment programs.

      Originally from Michigan, Mrs. Livermore earned her degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communications from Kendall College of Art and Design at Ferris State University. She brings extensive experience in teaching art classes and has also worked professionally as a freelance graphic artist.

      At Trinity Homeschool Academy, Mrs. Livermore will serve as the 4th–5th Grade Homeroom Teacher, as well as teach Bible, History, and Art. She is passionate about creating a Christ-centered learning environment where students are encouraged to grow academically, creatively, and spiritually.

     I’m excited to begin my journey with Trinity Homeschool Academy and continue doing what I love most—helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, I relocated to South Carolina in 2023. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Physical Education with a minor in Exercise Science from Maryville College in 2015.

      I have over ten years of experience in education, working with students from early childhood through high school in both general and special education settings. My background includes small-group instruction, one-on-one behavioral intervention support for students with special needs, and implementing math and reading strategies for students ages eight to sixteen.

     At Trinity Homeschool Academy, she will serve as the K–2nd grade homeroom teacher and will also teach Elementary English Language Arts (ELA) to all elementary students.

     She plans to begin working toward her Master’s Degree in School Psychology within the next year. Her educational philosophy centers on meeting each child where they are academically and emotionally while helping them build confidence and develop a love for learning. She looks forward to supporting the mission of Trinity Homeschool Academyand encouraging her students each day to reach their full potential.

Outside of teaching, she enjoys baking, traveling to small towns and cities, and exploring creative hobbies and crafts.
