About Mrs. Hayes

Amy Hayes – Curriculum Vitae

Summary Statement
As a granddaughter of teachers, daughter of a 20+ year home schooling veteran and home school graduate myself, I come from a family tradition of teaching. I have successfully taught all my own step-children and four other children and counting. I love learning and have found through teaching I have learned the most. Studying history is one of my favorite hobbies and studying, meditating on and growing in my ability to succeed at education are my joy. I have started Zera Hall as way to use my enjoyment of learning and education to be fruitful for Christ with my time and abilities.
