Teacher expertise and credentials
I am qualified to teach architectural history since I studied took master level classes in urban planning. My particular concentration was historic architectural preservation and land use planning. The classes I took focused extensively on historical planning practices and significant events like the worlds fair to understand how these events impacted the realm of planning. I also have traveled extensively throughout my life and have lived in Paris for a year. This class will also be offered to 9-12 year olds as well but I want the option to there for high school students Reviews
