Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello fans of Magic the Gathering (and their parents)!
Following a forty year career in publishing and as a small business owner, including running a Magic the Gathering (MTG) game store, I have embarked on a new passion; sharing my knowledge of, and love of, Magic the Gathering to students all over the world.
My tutoring and teaching experience includes students aged 4 to 40. I have taught in a pre-school, tutored college students in English and writing, mentored professional writers and helped hundreds learn Magic the Gathering or improve their game play. Recently, I obtained certification as a Level 5 English as a Second Language instructor to gain additional insights in becoming the best teacher/mentor possible.
I have been playing Magic the Gathering since it first came out in 1993. During that time I have played thousands of games, taken part in hundreds of local and national tournaments and taught dozens of new players how to play the game, as well as mentoring established players on the game's finer points. I am passionate about teaching not only how to play the game, but also mentoring students in the critical thinking, mathmatics, social skills, sportsmanship and other life skills which are part of the game. My favorite thing about Magic the Gathering is just how much fun it is to play, while also providing so many lessons that can enhance your life.
Feel free to message me if you would like to schedule an individual class or classes on any aspect of MTG. From how to play the game to advanced tournament preparation, let's take your Magic the Gathering skills to the next level and have tons of fun while learning the world's #1 trading card game!
