Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University
I've been an educator all my life, a teacher of K-8 learners [high school students, too], special education and gifted students, Principal of twenty + years elementary through high school, a volunteer, tutor of children in several different countries, an online tutor for seven + years of learners in the United States, South America, Africa and Asia, and have found one of the best ways to teach children, to work with great learners is to challenge them in an academic-like setting while having fun. I've written curriculum for years and fun learning activities that have stimulated learners to be their best. I love playing games with family, friends, learners, and am always the one to bring a new game to family gatherings and social events. I've been called the "grand master of games!"Reviews
