Teacher expertise and credentials
I truly believe health and wellness is an important aspect to incorporate in our lives, and it's imperative that students understand this importance so that they are able to develop and master these habits in advance. Unfortunately I didn't have these resources growing up as a child. Since I began teaching students, It has been one of my main objectives to provide proper tools and knowledge that can be used throughout any area of life in a way that's natural to me, and one that I'm very passionate about in my life.Reviews
