Your learners will be introduced to major topics in environmental science. 
They will gain insights into sustainable systems & solutions. 
Learners will be encouraged to discuss & debate options for the future.

 I have degrees, post-graduate, and professional qualifications in the following:

- Bachelor of Arts in Archaeology & History
- A1 First-Class Honours in Archaeology
- Member of AAA (Australian Archaeological Association)
- Member of ASHA (Australasian Society for Historical Archaeology)
- PhD Candidate in Archaeology (Full Scholarship)
- Academic Medal in Undergraduate Coursework
- Winner of the Robert Mays Memorial Prize for North Queensland History 
- Member of the Golden Key International Honour Society
- I have co-authored published articles in professional archaeological journals
- I have delivered speeches at the Australiasian Mining History Association
- Winner of the Best Poster Presentation at AAA 
- I have started my TESOL (150-Hours) Professional Certificate through Arizona State University, and I expect to complete this 
   within the next month

I am also a homeschool father of multiple children. We have always homeschooled and participated in distance education. We came to Outschool in 2018 as learners, and now I am excited to also teach on this platform. I understand the needs of parents of learners here as I am one myself. Further, I am a native English speaker.
