Teacher expertise and credentials
As a London tour guide, I offer guided walking tours about history and people who have lived and worked in London. This tour began as a virtual tour I conducted during the pandemic to tourist who were not able to visit London for the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale's birthday. Celebrating Mary Seacole and teaching student of her contribution is paramount. Her two sculptures in London are part of my tours, where visitors from all over the world can learn about her work. As nurses have been our greatest heroes during the pandemic, it is important to remember these two women and allow new generations to discover them.Reviews
