I have a Bachelor‘s degree from Geneva College and minored in cross culture studies. During my 4 years in college I studied history and various ancient cultures. I have over 17 years experience teaching children and teens engaging lesson in both public schools, online courses and private seminars. In all of these experiences, teaching history and culture was a very large part of my job description. I previously held credentials through the State of Ohio and the state of Minnesota’s Departments of Education (both now expired). I taught in public schools for 2 school years where history and other social studies was part of my duties as an educator. I have over 6 years of experience teaching history to children on online platforms and have taught thousands of kids to live history. I pride myself on never letting kids get bored yet always be learning. I have a passion for helping children succeed.
There will be mentions of battle, sickness and death. There will be visuals showing war scenes to help illustrate what is being discussed. Students should be mature enough and prepared for these battle scenes.
