Hi! My name is Keegan Bostian. I graduated in the class of 2023, and I enjoy hunting, singing, and going to church. At OHP I assist in pottery and 4th and 5th grade classes, and I love working with the kiddos.
Bonjour! I’m Madame Avril! I teach French, Kinder Music, and Crafts at Legacy and OHP.
Before moving to Michigan, I worked as a Community Involvement Specialist for the Montreal School Board. Since then, I have taught art, music, and Waldorf-inspired elementary classes. I was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I have 4 children (ages 6 to 12). I speak French, English, and Spanish. I enjoy gardening, beekeeping, toymaking, and painting.
I hope that you’re as excited as I am for this new school year! We’ve got a lot of great activities ahead.
Hello. I’m Sharon Bemis. I was born and raised here in Michigan, but was blessed to live 11 years in Florida (2011-2022). My husband, Jeff, and I have 4 children (16, 14, 9, and 3) and currently live in Goodrich. I homeschooled them for 5 years, and now they are in the public school in our community, doing their best to impact the world for good. I currently teach, and assist, in a variety of math classes at Legacy hybrid, and I serve as a classroom assistant and an admin assistant at Oxford Hybrid primary. You will likely recognize me as the car line lady. It is my joy to welcome students onto campus everyday. My hobbies include baking, traveling, and making friends.
My name is Becky Boreo. This is my 1st year teaching DK at Oxford Hybrid Primary, and I feel so blessed to be part of this amazing school. I come with years of teaching experience. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Oakland University.
I have taught 7th, 3rd, 3 years of KG, 4th and 1st grade for 7 years after staying home to raise my children. I have been subbing since 2018 and have been health coaching since 2015. I am married, have a 30 year-old son, a 26 year-old daughter, two granddaughters who are 4 and 3 years old, a grandson who is 7 months old and a grandbaby on the way due January 2025. We spend our free time in northern Michigan at our cabin, boating, trail riding in our side by side, snowmobiling and spending time with family. They are my world. Teaching two days a week feels like the perfect balance of continuing my love of teaching, while still allowing me enough time to be present with my grandbabies.
My name is Megan Kinsler. I am the Site Supervisor at Oxford Hybrid Primary. Prior to taking a position at OHP, I worked for 8 years in Human Resources at Genesee Intermediate School District. I’ve been married to my husband Anthony for 13 years. We have two girls, Angela and Gabriella, who are enrolled in OHP. My favorite things to do (other then spending time with family) are singing and playing the piano at church. I also love riding my bike, playing volleyball, football and golf. I can’t get enough of that fresh Michigan air!
I’ve always loved doing things that inspire my creativity. I went to school and received a bachelors in education, but shortly after graduating, I knew teaching in a traditional classroom wasn’t for me. I took a ceramics class in early 2022, and I fell in love with the art of ceramics. I opened my small business of ceramics at the end of 2022, but I knew I wanted to teach ceramics one day too. I am so grateful that I now get to teach handbuilding ceramics classes! My greatest supporter is my husband Seth. We have two doodles named Ron and Abe. Together we enjoy traveling, coffee, and rock climbing!
My name is Yanning Lee and I am a classroom assistant in Middle School at Legacy Hybrid.I graduated from Wayne State University with a Master’s Degree in BiomedicalScience. I then worked at Wayne State as a research associate for 4 years where I did medical research while mentoring other undergraduate and graduate students. I became a full time mom after having my second son and enjoy every moment with them.It is great to join the Legacy Hybrid family after homeschooling them for 3 years.
My name is Anna Sanchez and I assist in some of the primary classes as well as choir. I am currently taking classes through Liberty University online working towards my degree in elementary education. I have a passion for teaching and I love working with children of all ages.
In my spare time, I serve on the worship team at my church as well as in children’s ministry. I love all things music, I sing and play guitar. I also enjoy baking and spending time with my family and friends.
I’m Becky Doty. I assist at Legacy Hybrid in multiple classrooms: ELA/Blackbird 3, Saxon Math 3, ELA/Blackbird 5, OVA Reading Intervention, Lego Stem Elective, and Elementary Pottery Elective. Next semester I will also be the Field Instructor for the CrockPot Elective. I love helping our kiddos learn! Prior to coming to THLC, our homeschooling journey began during the pandemic after two years of private Catholic school. My two girls, Kylee and Kenzie, are both enrolled at Legacy. We all love the hybrid aspect and the atmosphere here! We live in Grand Blanc and have three dogs. I enjoy cooking and baking allergy-friendly treats, volunteering at Adopt-A-Pet in Fenton, camping, and vacationing in Northern Michigan and Florida.
My name is Amanda Landmann. I am a classroom assistant and will also be teaching the Crock Pot cooking class for grades K-5, starting the spring semester. Both my children have participated in the Hybrid Program for the past 4 years. My husband and I chose Hybrid Learning because it is the best of both worlds, homeschooling and in person, with a smaller classroom setting. Our children have excelled because of the dedication the teachers and staff have for each individual student.
I currently live in Lapeer with my husband, Kyle, daughter Evalee and son, Kyson. Our family has 3 dogs, Tala is a 5 year old Great Dane, Will is a 15 year old Shiba Inu and Zuko is a 1 year old Huskita, who keeps us busy. My family enjoys camping, fishing, cooking (my husband is a retired chef), traveling, hiking, playing board games, spending time outdoors, trying new restaurants, building memories and just being together. I enjoy reading, diamond art, decorating my new home and being with my family.I am looking forward to assisting your child in their classrooms and teaching them fun easy ways to provide meals for their family.

I grew up in Upstate New York and have been living in Oxford, Michigan for the past 10 years. I have an undergraduate and graduate degree in Education and Instruction. I have been an educator for over twenty years as well as an emotional social learning coach for youth and young adults. I am married and have three children, a cat and a big German Shepherd named Ruby. I love to hike and travel every chance I get.

My name is Angela Sanchez. I teach Elementary and Middle school choir as well as Middle school Social Studies here at The Hybrid Learning co. I have been a private piano teacher since 1992 as well as doing vocal coaching in the last 15 years. Over the past 30 plus years, I have directed and/or co-directed many children’s choirs, adult choirs and had a hand in several church and school musicals. My true passion is worship ministry and discipleship. Nothing gives me greater joy than to pour into our next generation of musicians and leaders. Prior to coming over to teach at the Hybrid I worked as a worship director for one of our current church locations.
Throughout the years my husband and I have also served as interim worship leaders at quite a few churches as needs would arise. This experience gave us a great connection to the community and helped us to adapt well under lots of different settings and situations.I continue to serve on the worship team at our church with my husband and two of our four children. We love being able to serve together as a family. In the fall of 2022, I was given the amazing opportunity to begin teaching Middle and High school Social studies which quickly turned out to be a new passion.
I am a HUGE lover of all things History, especially US History. It has been my great pleasure to now be given the opportunity to teach two subjects that I am very passionate about and to spend my days pouring into the next generation of leaders. I truly enjoy spending a few days a week with the students at THLC.
In my spare time I love spending time with my husband and four kids aged 17-24. Yes we do love making music together as a family, but we also love to bake and play games or watch movies together. My vision for the THLC music program is to grow it into something that we can be proud of and will draw in many young budding musicians who are looking for cool opportunities to both learn and perform. I look forward to being a part of watching and growing this part of the THLC as well as inspiring young learners to develop a love for History.

Hello, my name is Heidi Couch. I am a Kindergarten teacher at Oxford Hybrid Primary (OHP). I have been with OHP four years; my first year was spent teaching the 3rd and 4th grade split class and I have enjoyed being in the Kindergarten classroom the past three years. I hold a bachelor’s degree from Old Dominion University. My career in education began over 30 years ago while working at the United Cerebral Palsy Center’s Preschool program. Since then, my journey through the education world has led me to work with elementary age children in various capacities including substitute teaching (long and short term) for over seven years while raising our three children. During those years, I longed for my own classroom and the ability to form relationships with my students as well as their families. OHP has offered me that opportunity and I have cherished every moment of my time here. The flexibility our program offers both parents and children is wonderful. I love being a part of children’s early learning years, watching them explore how to learn and make friends is such a joy. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Bryan for 30 years. As I stated, we have three fabulous adult children. Jared, who lives in Florida with our beautiful daughter-in-law Kara. Leah, is a student at Oakland University’s School of Nursing, and Elliana, our youngest who is an education major at Spring Arbor University. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with our family, reading, serving in our church, exercising, singing, and being in the great outdoors. I truly enjoy working with children and am passionate about being a positive role model and influence for the next generation.
I am Janel Deaver, and my family has been a part of the Hybrid Primary Program since 2019. I currently work as the Site Supervisor at two of our locations, and I have taught ELA, Math, and Social Studies here. Before coming to Hybrid, I also worked as a reading tutor, ESL teacher, and reading and math intervention paraprofessional. I have also been homeschooling since 2006. After graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in English & Math, I worked both in public and private school settings. I found that the homeschool co-ops and hybrid learning groups were a better fit for our children’s education. I have 3 children enrolled with Hybrid and one that is graduating from college with their Mechanical Engineering degree this year.

Hello, My name is Jeanne Hotchkiss.
I am the Founder and Co-Director of The Hybrid Learning Company. I’m married to my wonderful husband, Lee. We have three amazing children, Dominic, Eden and Maranda- all of which I have had the privilege to homeschool over the years!
My educational background is in Social Work. As I worked on completing an internship at Daniel Axford Elementary in 2004 I was employed there as the Family Service Coordinator for the Head Start Program. This job allowed me to work closely with families of preschoolers and help meet their needs as well as coordinate programs and events for them. My background in preschool education and social work as well as the years spent homeschooling my own children were a wonderful preparation to walk through the door God opened for me to start the Hybrid Program in 2018. I truly enjoy pioneering this new pathway of education and cannot wait to watch it continue to grow as more and more families learn about the freedom and academic creativity that hands on hybrid schooling provides!
I’m Hollee Keel. In June of 2020, I retired from 30 years of teaching in Oak Park, Michigan. I taught grades 1-5, primarily first grade for the last 10 years. In the fall of 2020, I started teaching at Oxford Hybrid Primary School as I was not quite ready to “fully” retire.
I have taught 3 rd grade science, reading, math and social studies, developmental kindergarten and kindergarten science, first grade reading and fourth grade reading. It is an absolute pleasure working with smaller groups of students after teaching with 25-30 students in a class! I live in Metamora, Michigan with my husband and three dogs. My daughter is married and lives in Lapeer, Michigan with her family. During my free days, I help my 92 year -old mother by grocery shopping, doing laundry, driving to doctor appointments and playing cards. She is a retired elementary teacher as well and inspired me to follow in her footsteps. She still gives me pointers. I love to work in my perennial gardens, camp “glamp” with my husband, and sing with the worship team at Lakepoint Community church. My husband and I are currently in the process of building a new house in Metamora with some extra property for our dogs to run. Retirement is turning out to be very busy and satisfying!
