Trina Ferguson (Registrar, Tutor Liaison, TAAT)
Trina has a B.S. degree in Psychology and has worked with children ages 2 – 17 since 1996 in schools, day care centers, church, homeschool co-ops, as well as through internships in Child Psychology and Early Childhood Education. She began homeschooling in 2009 and resides in Bowie with her wonderful husband, her three children, and their Yorkie. Trina loves working with children and having fun using games and hands on activities to teach about God through various subjects. She wrote and published a book, in 2016, about her homeschooling journey and how God used homeschool to change her life. Trina believes, every body has a story to tell and something to share. She is looking forward to combining this belief with her love of teaching to usher young people into a world of their own creation through education.

Christina Rafter (Facilities, Website and Tech)
Christina Rafter loves to learn, and that is something she hopes to pass on to every student. Christina was home educated and is currently homeschooling her four inquisitive children. She developed an enthusiasm for tutoring in college and went on to work two years in Anne Arundel County public schools in special education, mathematics and the sciences. After her oldest daughter was born she left the school system to raise her children and later began working again as a private math tutor. In 2014 Christina was introduced to Bridge Tutorial Ministries and was excited for the opportunity to teach some of her favorite sciences in the classroom again, while still being able to pursue her passion for home education. Christina lives on Kent Island and when she’s not dreaming up new ways to teach cellular respiration or cracking bad math and science puns she enjoys reading books with maps, cooking without recipes, and long walks with her family--the more scenic the better.
