Welcome to Pegasus Learning!

Pegasus Learning classes focus primarily on learning cooperatively in a fun, hands-on, minds-on way. We explore learning through games, cooperative activities, and independent time. Pegasus offers reading, math, writing classes, and a whole slew of other individualized classes for homeschoolers as well as tutoring services for all elementary-aged kids. The mission of Pegasus Learning is to provide a protected time and space where children can explore a variety of basic skills ... the most important one being the maintenance of their love of learning.

Pam Victor is the teacher of all Pegasus classes.  Pam was a homeschooling mom for ten years (her son just went off to college!) For eight of those years, she lead a large variety of classes for homeschoolers ages 8 - 18 with a wide range of subjects from
literature to art history to improv comedy and beyond. A certified teacher, Pam spent many years as a teacher for pre-schoolers to second graders in both public and private schools. She earned her B.A. from Smith College and her Masters in Elementary Education from Iona College (NY). In 2006, Pam's book "Baj and the Word Launcher: Space Age Asperger Adventures in Communication" was published by Jessica Kingsley, Publ. Her work has appeared in local newspapers and national magazines, such as "Home Education Magazine." Her second book, which is about improvisation, is due out in late-2015. In addition, Pam is a professional comedian, the founding member of the improv comedy troupe The Ha-Ha's,  and the producer of The Happier Valley Comedy Show.

Why Pegasus?

Pegasus, a divine, white horse with wings, is one of the most fantastical creatures of Greek mythology. Pegasus symbolizes many things, such as wisdom, poetry, and the source of creativity who springs open the wells of inspiration. 

Plus, flying horses are really cool.
