 Linda Hottel, Lighthouse Point, Florida 

    I met Linda several years ago, just after she moved to South Florida.  She was and still continues to be a very trusted and valued personal mentor and friend, with a dedicated heart for serving and edifying others.

    Linda began homeschooling in Ohio 12 years ago when her adopted daughter failed Kindergarten.  She met her Mentor Moms during a Bible Study and knew God was calling her to homeschool.  Having experienced the  importance of Mentor Moms, she has been mentoring since moving to Florida  9 years ago.

     Linda homeschools her three children:  Beth, a graduating senior,  Stefan who is in 9th grader, and Savannah, a 5th grader.  During her homeschool years she has experienced the challenges of several learning disabilities including dyslexia.  She is a Wilson Certified Reading Tutor and has 15 years experience teaching in Ohio.  She has used various Unit Studies and curriculum including Sonlight, Saxon Math, Alpha Omega, Apologia, and Teaching Textbooks.

    Linda welcomes all phone calls for mentoring, encouragement, advisement and prayer any day after 1:00 pm, (954-781-1144).
