Would you know how to survive a hurricane, tornado, or flood? Most people don't. In this one time class I will teach your student how to survive natural disasters.

Class Experience

* This class is appropriate for ages 5-18 I have taught many classes with a mix of youngsters and teenagers and never had a problem

**Unless there is an emergency I do not mind teaching a class with only 1 student in it. So there is no need to worry about me canceling for that reason. 

Are you prepared?!?

Your student(s) will learn how to prepare for and how to survive natural disasters.

I have years of experience working in emergency management, and disaster preparedness.
I was a fire fighter/first responder for 10 years with the Cy-Fair Fire Department in Houston, TX USA. I also worked with the US Coast Guard for nearly 5 years, where my primary duties were law enforcement, search and rescue, and logistics. 

In the Coast Guard I was part of the District 7 Hurricane Emergency Assistance Response Team, where I helped families prepare for, and recover from hurricanes.
I have also been an incident commander on multiple disasters, and have most if not all ICS (Incident Command System) courses.

55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Natural disasters can be very scary for most learners, but I have never had a complaint in my over 3 years of teaching. I teach in a fun and interesting manner, while emphasizing that it is important to be prepared. I also talk about how unlikely it is to be actually injured or worse during a natural disaster.
