TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My teaching materials come from the school of life: teaching kids how academics apply to real life through hands-on activities; volunteering as a writer coach; and consulting with and writing for adults.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Fun. Challenging. Real world. My approach is to engage kids and inspire them to think at higher levels, with creative exercises that emphasize real-world application of knowledge (since, of course, that's what life's all about). Yet as students learn the basic Common Core Standards they will practice 21st Centry Skills.
