Teacher expertise and credentials
I am originally from Britain, and as a child, I went around many stately homes. My parents were both born in the 1930s, and my mum's stories of WWII allowed me to see history in such a different way. I have taken many classes in history and my love for history has grown over the years, that I would love to share this love to allow students to see that history can be fun to learn.
