Mrs. Susan Tolentino To All Instructors

Susan has a BA in Elementary Education from Wheaton College, with a minor in communications. After teaching in the public school system for 7 years, Susan became a Family Ministry Pastor at Living Hope in Elk Grove, IL. She recently retired from that position after 27 years in order to focus on her other passions.  Susan is an administrator and teacher at Life Christian Co-School, a substitute teacher at Schaumburg Christian School and an educational consultant at Alpha Learning Center in Itasca, Illinois.
Before starting Life Christian Co-School with Patti Hodge, Homeschool University was her teaching home for 9 years. Seeing the growth in her students from September to May is the highlight of each school year.
Assisting with dramas, musicals, and choirs has been a passion of Susan’s for many years. She loves breaking kids out of their comfort zones to do things they never thought they could, like singing a solo or being a lead in a drama. Volunteering at Overshadowed Theater in Medinah is where she can be found on many weekends.
In the summer, Susan enjoys spending time with her family and running camps for kids.
Susan and her husband, Robert, reside in Roselle. They have three daughters, two son-in-laws, and two grandchildren.
