My writing is found in quite a few places: newspaper clippings and internet spaces. I’ve taught overseas and outdoors by the beach, and I can craft fun presentations to teach. This included refining climate education, and helping kids learn at a nature-school station. Recently I’ve built some leadership s... Read more

Hello, I have been in education for many years, and have raised four grown children.

I believe it is the responsibility of the tutor and teacher to determine each student's specific learning style, and teach to this intelligence. With my background in psychology... Read more
