Instructor: Seema Kahn With 18 years in the homeschooling game, I've gathered tricks from co-op adventures all over. Mom to three awesome boys, I totally get the home vs. classroom hustle. Originally from Pakistan, I spent my childhood soaking up the California sun, had a soulful stint in Oregon, and called Abu Dhabi home for a solid decade. All these spots left their mark, giving me a unique perspective. Planted myself in North Carolina for the past three years, but the learning party's far from over!
