Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a passion for travel, culture, and languages. I have lived in three different countries, and have traveled to more than 20 countries in total, including 9 countries in Europe. Last winter I spent two months living in Greece. Travel has by far been the biggest eye opener and learning experience in my life, and I realize how important it is that the next generation be able to understand different cultures. International trade and global connections make it so important to learn about the world, and remain open minded.Reviews
