Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Capella University
We have been using IEW in our homeschool for 8+ years and I am a true believer in the method.  As a registered instructor, I would like to help other children learn the joy and ease of writing using IEW.  I teach from IEW texts as well as my own designed courses, such as this one.
