Teacher expertise and credentials
Psychology was a large part of my Child Youth and Family studies program in University. When I had the chance to take an elective I chose a psychology course, and I have never stopped being fascinated with the brain. I believe that it is more important to teach children how to learn than it is to force them to learn. By teaching children about the brain I aim to build life long learners who understand how to strengthen their own mind. I also had a veterinarian for a Mom, so animals have always been a passion of mine and part of my life. Reviews
