Lindsey Nelson
Lindsey is an experienced homeschooling parent of three, using a primarily unschooling, interest-driven approach. She has graduated two of her children and continues to learn alongside her youngest. Her years in the community have shaped her strong belief that students are always learning, and that when their passions are supported, foundational skills naturally follow.
At Trellis, Lindsey teaches a variety of subjects, including sewing, theater, and history. She is passionate about creating engaging, hands-on classes that encourage creativity, curiosity, and student ownership of learning.
Lindsey holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Costume Design from a liberal arts college. Her theater background informs her teaching style, emphasizing imagination, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. A lifelong learner herself, she values the way homeschooling fosters both academic growth and a love of learning for students and educators alike.
When she isn't teaching, you can find Lindsey traveling, making costumes and crafts, doing DIY projects around the house, watching documentaries, and engaging in community activism.
