TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have spent three years teaching toddlers, elementary, and middle school students in South Korea, two years teaching university students in Oman, five years teaching international high school students in America, and now I'm teaching English and History to Bahamian high and middle schoolers at a boarding school.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Language is choice, whether it be for history or literature, so teach students how to choose well. Teach study skills while you teach content, in fact prioritizing skills makes the class more tangible, more productive, and more fun. If you make skills a habit, a student will be ready to learn any content.
