I've traveled the world teaching upper elementary for the last 15 years. I love working with students in project-based learning, social studies, math, and YouTubing/video editing.
I am a certified teacher for ages k-8 and have taught grades 4, 5, 6, and 7.
I believe education should be fun, relevant, challenging, and inquiry-based. I look forward to the chance to be your virtual teacher.Reviews
