Foothill Learning Academy
K-12 Homeschool Support Program

Miss Leslie Johnson (Timm) is a dedicated educator with extensive experience in homeschooling, early childhood education, and enrichment programs. Over the years, she has owned and operated her own preschool, directed a summer camp for elementary-aged children, tutored students, and taught both in-person and online classes. She holds an Associate of Arts in Liberal Studies and an Associate of Arts in Social Science.

​

A passionate homeschool mom of four children, ages 6 to 19, Miss Johnson has spent the past 15 years guiding not only her own children but also many other homeschool students and families through a wide range of subjects and hands-on learning experiences. Whether leading an immersive Black Plague simulation or hosting a cupcake baking challenge, she brings creativity, energy, and a love of learning to every lesson. She thrives on engaging with students, fostering curiosity, and encouraging critical thinking through interactive and imaginative teaching.

​

Outside of teaching, Miss Johnson enjoys reading, hiking, creating art, and playing one of the 200+ board games in her collection. She has a love for wordplay and never misses an opportunity to share a clever pun. At home, she and her family share their space with a sulcata tortoise, two playful dogs, and a thriving assortment of indoor and outdoor plants. She is excited for another year of growth, exploration, and learning with her students.
