Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been involved in blockchain for several years, and the technology industry for decades. I even hold some provisional patents around blockchain improvements, and use of blockchain outside of crytpocurrency.  My specialty is explaining complex technology in plain easy to understand language and examples.
