Candace Beyer

Tutor

Having homeschooled her own three children for more than fourteen years, Candace is honored to be a part of a homeschooling community again.  Because Candace is passionate in teaching students strong writing skills and reading proficiency, she continues to privately tutor students Language Arts and English, ages 10 through 18.  Being a student herself at St. Mary’s University enrolled in her final year of the BA in Psychology program, Candace is keen to continue her pursuit in higher learning, and desires to see others reach their utmost potential, noting that education is a God-given gift that is not to be taken for granted. Her university studies in psychology and English have created a greater passion for excellent writing and critical reading skills.

Heather McCallister

Tutor

While Heather was born in Ontario, and spent her early school years there, Calgary has been considered home for more than 35 years.  Completing her Bachelor of Education degree at the University of Alberta, with a major in Elementary education and a minor in ESL, she has always had a passion for working with children.   After marrying her husband Howie, she began her career as a Grade 2 teacher at Trinity Christian School, where she also completed the Christian School International Mentorship program in Administration.  Shortly after her first daughter was born, she began working with the School of Hope as a homeschooling facilitator, where home visits were her highlight. For the past 10 years, as her children have attended Trinity Christian School, Heather became a substitute teacher covering multiple leaves, teaching students from K to 9.  The flexibility afforded her the opportunity to both work and volunteer extensively in all areas of school life. As her children have been transitioning from Junior High to High School and into college, Heather has been looking for new avenues to use the gifts that God has given her. Intrigued by both the classical homeschooling model and the community at Calgary Classical Schole,  she is excited to be joining with those who are so passionate about education. At CCSchole she will be serving as the Lower Grammar Tutor in the area of language arts.
