I attended East Tennessee State University and Middle Tennessee State University. I married David (now deceased) in 1979 and moved to Middle Tennessee permanently.

God gave us three precious children and we were blessed and privileged to home educate them from birth through high school graduation. We began our home school journey in the fall of 1988 and continued for the next nineteen years. All three children have graduated from college and two have gotten their master’s degrees. Our son is an officer in the United States Army. Even more important than that, I am now a grandmother! During those nineteen years, we volunteered in various capacities in the homeschool community. David and I served on the Middle Tennessee Home Education Association Board of Directors for thirteen years, and we helped to organize and start the Home Education Association of Rutherford, Tennessee (HEART). I spoke at various conferences, graduations, and homeschool seminars and workshops. In the fall of 2002, I began teaching at Rutherford Tutorial Academy, where I continue to teach today.

She spent the summers during her college years working with the churches of Christ in French-speaking Europe (France, Switzerland and Belgium). She graduated with a BA in French and minors in Greek and Business Management and later an MEd in French Education. Following graduation, she was an adjunct for Harding University, leading a group of college students on Harding's first study abroad program to France and Switzerland. Stephanie wanted to move back to middle Tennessee to be close to her family and to fulfill her calling to teach high school students. She taught French at Oakland High School here in Murfreesboro for three years, during which time the French program doubled in size. During her time there, she wrote the curriculum for and started the French International Baccalaureate (IB) program and also led a group of high school students on a trip to France over Winter Break. After the birth of her first son and much prayer, she decided to leave the job she loved to be able to stay home full-time. She continued to tutor French out of her home for several more years until the birth of her third child at which time she wanted to be able to totally focus at home. Now her oldest is taking French for high school credit, and she is thrilled to have the opportunity to be back in the classroom sharing her love of the French language and culture with the students at Discipleship Tutorial. Stephanie is married to her best friend Tim, and they have five incredible kids (Henry, Martin, Cordelia, Arthur and Isabelle). Stephanie has homeschooled since 2014 when her oldest started kindergarten and is so very thankful for Discipleship Tutorial and Co-op where her family is involved and thriving. https://www.discipleshiptutorial.com/creative-writing daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b43c991372b96d178fefa2f/4e3f85f8-d1ac-4d17-bc38-3f3d5b7534b1/Elaina+Headshot+2023.jpg Creative Writing BIO Elaina Shaver is a storyteller in many forms.

Stephanie wanted to move back to middle Tennessee to be close to her family and to fulfill her calling to teach high school students. She taught French at Oakland High School here in Murfreesboro for three years, during which time the French program doubled in size. During her time there, she wrote the curriculum for and started the French International Baccalaureate (IB) program and also led a group of high school students on a trip to France over Winter Break. After the birth of her first son and much prayer, she decided to leave the job she loved to be able to stay home full-time. She continued to tutor French out of her home for several more years until the birth of her third child at which time she wanted to be able to totally focus at home. Now her oldest is taking French for high school credit, and she is thrilled to have the opportunity to be back in the classroom sharing her love of the French language and culture with the students at Discipleship Tutorial. Stephanie is married to her best friend Tim, and they have five incredible kids (Henry, Martin, Cordelia, Arthur and Isabelle). Stephanie has homeschooled since 2014 when her oldest started kindergarten and is so very thankful for Discipleship Tutorial and Co-op where her family is involved and thriving. https://www.discipleshiptutorial.com/music-theory daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b43c991372b96d178fefa2f/7c492cb0-a245-46c2-bf30-2250ce3e1e77/Shelly+Stanley.png Music Theory BIO Shelly Stanley enjoys teaching and has taught at DT through the co op and DT since 2021.
