TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I am a freelance 'edu-preneur'. After over a decade of classroom teaching I am using the skills I learned and applying them to my online teaching interactions. I have found that the last three years spent teaching as an independent teacher have significantly improved my delivery of instruction and lesson planning. I hope to share my most successful lessons and products with teachers so that they can recreate the wonderful teaching experience I had using the lessson.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I think of my classes as edu-tainment. Bill Nye the Science Guy was so popular because his show was fun to watch. While, I do not have the production team I do take that philosophy to heart. I want students to not just learn, but to enjoy themselves and connect with others.
