I am an instructor at IAA, since 2014. I am currently teaching NAT-2 The Planets and NAT-5 Chart Synthesis in the Natal Studies Module. I joined the IAA as a student in April 2010, spurred by an intuitive decision to make a formal start in a structured education environment, of a hobby I held dear since I was very young. My other profession is architecture. I was always fascinated by and interested in symbolism and how it can be interpreted to assist an understanding of the human nature, disposition, and aid with self-work, or practical advice in navigating life’s journey. I graduated from IAA in 2014; these three and a half years as a student, were an amazing journey, have enriched me with great rewards, with my fellow students, being taught in a live class by gifted and knowledgeable teachers in a high quality supportive academic education environment. The curiculum is well structured, and students are supported not only in live class time, but through feed back on their homework and progress. Very soon after my graduation, I was invited to teach at IAA, and it was at the same time I realized astrology was my soul’s vocation and started my own consultation practice. My clientele gradually grew over the years, in Greece and worldwide, while I am furthering my study and research into the subject, writing, and lecturing. Astrology never ceases to delight one! The study of astrology never ends, yet it is great to begin your journey in an academic environment that knows how to take you step by step to the next level. As a teacher I love sharing my knowledge with students, meeting students from all over the world, helping them exercise their critical thinking, and supporting them in their progress.

I have been teaching 'A Look at the Month, Quarter and Year Ahead' for the AstroCollege/IAA for over six years, and the students are truly a great international community of ‘seekers’. It is very rewarding to meet, interact and build friendships with others who have similar interests, and enjoy learning the fascinating world of Astrology. The AstroCollege and IAA together are the world's leading Astrology Education Institution, and a great place to get involved and find your tribe within a global on-line community. Students can gain a greater understanding and how to use astrology in their life personally, go on to become consulting astrologer or enroll in the IAA College to become a professional astrologer. I highly recommend the programs offered through the AstroCollege and IAA, and look forward to meeting you in the global halls of our community! Less

I've been teaching horary and electional astrology at the IAA/Astrocollege for 6 years. I consider our school to be one of the top for its excellent education, diversity, student support, and professional and personal growth that students can experience while in the program. As a teacher, I enjoy meeting students from all over the world, and building long-term relationship with them. When I take classes with other instructors, I always gain a lot professionally and personally. I've always enjoyed relationships with colleagues and like-minded people in our community. Right now we are expanding our services to benefit not only people interested in learning astrology professionally, but to those who are interested in understanding themselves better, or learning astrology as a part of their spiritual and personal journey. I'm looking forward to this new chapter in the IAA's life! Less

I've been a professional astrologer since 1983, and I'm proud to have enjoyed teaching at the IAA / Astrocollege since 2018. At least two factors set us apart from other schools, in my opinion. First, the Astrocollege curriculum is intelligent, comprehensive, well-structured, well-written, has stood the test of time (since 1997), and gives students an extremely thorough grounding in *both* traditional and modern humanistic astrology. You will find that traditional methods, used for millennia in some cases and re-accessible to modern practitioners since about the mid-Nineties, provide a wealth of tools to analyze birth charts. Traditional astrology *informs and deepens* my own practice of modern astrology; it doesn't compete with it. It will make you a more well-rounded astrologer with a more comprehensive knowledge of our field. You will leave this program fully qualified to be an excellent counseling astrologer, having acquired proficiency in our complex craft from our experienced faculty--several of whom have professional backgrounds in education as well as astrology--and not from just one or two teachers' or books' points of view. Second, I love how the IAA / Astrocollege works with and prioritizes its students. Whether you want a personal or professional knowledge of astrology, the IAA is a student-centered, supportive trade school for learning our craft from professionals. We treat our students as our future colleagues, and we provide a clear path for you to achieve your goals in astrology. I look forward to seeing you in the Astrocollege Community soon. --Jodie Forrest, B.A., Education, M.A., Romance Languages, UNC-Chapel Hill, and M.A., Educational Technology, San Diego State University.

I got a great education in astrology that started at ground zero and kept building my knowledge and expertise week by week with classes and homework notes from each of the caring, professional astrologers who were my instructors. I felt confident to go out on my own after earning my diploma in 2014, and now have been a professional astrologer ever since. Less

My journey as a medical astrologer has been profoundly enriched by the courses I’ve taken with Lynn Koiner at Astrocollege/IAA. Astrocollege/IAA is a premier institution for astrological studies, offering a comprehensive and structured curriculum that caters to both beginners and seasoned professionals. The platform is user-friendly, and the resources available are top-notch, providing an ideal environment for deep and meaningful learning. Professor Koiner’s teaching goes beyond just imparting knowledge; she creates an environment where learning is an exploration, guiding students through the intricate connections between astrology and health with clarity and passion. Each class is meticulously structured, blending theory with practical application, making even the most complex astrological concepts accessible and relevant. Her extensive experience and deep understanding of medical astrology shine through in every lecture. She offers invaluable insights into the nuances of astrology, from analyzing natal charts for health indicators to understanding planetary influences on the body. Her willingness to answer questions, share personal experiences, and provide ongoing support has made a significant impact on my business. Astrocollege/IAA’s commitment to quality education is evident in the caliber of instructors like Professor Koiner. The college not only provides an exceptional learning experience but also fosters a supportive community of students and professionals. The courses have not only expanded my technical skills but also deepened my appreciation for the holistic nature of astrology. I cannot recommend Professor Koiner and Astrocollege/IAA highly enough for anyone serious about advancing their astrological education. Less

IAA is a great place to get a well rounded education in astrology. It's also a wonderful community of people interested in all things astrology. The time and effort required to earn the IAA Diploma are well worth it - once you fulfill the requirements you'll be a truly knowledgeable astrologer. Less

I have taken two classes with Lynn Koiner so for studying medical astrology. Her teaching style appeals to presenting concrete information, examples, conversation, history and medical knowledge of conditions and potential supports for them has allowed me to grasp a very large subject. Her vast years of experience, absolutely extensive knowledge, examples, testimonials to confirming aspects and effects along with her absolute desire to ensure we understand the material is excellent. I have a better understanding of charts overall because of the teaching but also how to navigate important details of charts (degrees, aspects, patterns, indications, and unique chart indicators). I am becoming more confident in my skills interpreting charts and being able to observe underlying manifestations. thank you Lynn. Less
