Claudia is a knowledgeable teacher and skilled instructor. She is beyond well prepared for all activities and does an excellent job breaking down sophisticated science concepts in age-appropriate ways for learners of all ages and stages. Her activities are hands-on and allow for creativity and exploration, and children are intrigued and excited by what they can do with her materials. She is organized and lovely to work with when planning events. Have fun! Cool-ology® Kid Parent
Every class we have done with Claudia has been amazing. The kids have always loved attending and regularly reference things they learned in her classes.

Miss Claudia and her Cool-ology programs are amazing. Her monthly visits to my Preschool classroom were not only anticipated by the preschoolers but by the teachers as well. Her thoughtful activities were planned out by things that were happening at the time (for example, seasons and holidays) and geared to three and four-year-olds perfectly. Her hands-on activities were the thing that everyone looked forward to the most!

Cool-ology is soo cool!! Claudia has been meeting with our 5-year-old daughter and 3 peers 2x a week since April. Each class is so thoughtful with numerous thematic experiments. It’s simply joyful and age-appropriate. They are learning about their world and science through play in ways they can retain. Claudia has such a calm way with kids. She is a gifted educator. Additionally, she is flexible in working with us and other family schedules. I can’t say enough good things.
