About the Speaker

Linda is the founder of Teach 4 the Heart, which began in 2013. She graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a degree in Math education.

Linda loves being able to stay connected to education and helping support teachers by working at Teach 4 the Heart. Linda is married to Tim, and they have 4 children aged 6-13.

Reading, spending time with her family, and playing the flute are some of Linda’s favorite things to do. When asked to describe Linda, our team used these words to describe her: humble, driven, innovative, knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and grace-filled. She is also authentic and principled—a sure-footed leader. Her faith truly leads her.

Gracelyn University

Gracelyn University prepares educators to lead with purpose. Most educators who want to go further never do, and it is almost never for lack of ability. It is cost, time, and a system that assumes you can stop working.

Gracelyn University was built the other way around. We are a fully online, DEAC-accredited university offering associate, bachelor's, and master's degrees for educators, taught from a biblical worldview and delivered in eight-week sessions you can carry alongside a full teaching load. Scholarship pricing is $44 per credit hour. No entrance exam. No application fee. Books included.

Ninety-seven percent of our students say they would choose Gracelyn again.

Every student works with a Success Coach, an experienced educator whose job is to help you find the right next step, even if that step is not with us.
