Teacher expertise and credentials
I love teaching music, math, creative writing and art! I am a licensed k-12 music teacher but have many hobbies and interests. I have taught elementary music for fourteen years! I have a masters degree in education and a bachelors of music education. I have also taught English Language Learning online to Chinese speakers and have tutored students in many different disciplines. I think learning should be fun, relevant and geared to every learner. I love bringing out the creative side in your student! I have a twin sister and two young boys! Reviews
