Testimonials

Mrs. Baer is an absolute treasure! Down-to-earth, always smiling, and she just “has a way” with the high school age group. Her before-class prayers were heartfelt. Thankful my son was part of her class.
Parent of student in Mrs. Angie Baer’s class
This was my daughter’s first introduction to MyFunScience and it set the bar high. Mrs. Baer is one of the sweetest teachers I’ve ever seen interact with kids—even online. She has a gift for making each student feel heard and valued. Her heart for God is evident in everything she does, and she is an organized, engaging instructor with excellent command of the material. I have no hesitation recommending this class.
All of my six children have had the pleasure of being Mrs. Baer’s students. The quality of her classes is excellent based on the content and structure of her classes, guided notes, age appropriate experiments, and Biblical references. She is very gifted in her ability to engage her students, regardless of age.
My children have thrived in Mrs. Baer’s classes! Mrs. Baer is so fun and engaging, and it’s obvious she cares for each individual child. I love that everything is so well organized and easy to find online.

Two of my children have taken classes with Mrs. Baer. They both have thoroughly enjoyed all of them! In fact, even my non-STEM student has asked to take every class she offers! High praise. Thank you, Mrs. Baer!
Mama Baer is one of the best teachers I have ever had! She is so amazing and flexible and she really cares for her students! The guided notes really help me stay focused and highlight the most important information we discuss in class.
