Teacher expertise and credentials
I am offering this class because I learned typing as a part of my Vocational Technichal high school experience and appreciate the value of accuracy and speed that my skills have enabled. I feel that typing is a lost art. My experience with teaching practical skills make me a good fit for teaching this class and also I hold an MBA in business administration/accounting. Reviews
