Origami is a wonderful art form that people of all ages and cultures have enjoyed for centuries.

I have two decades of experience teaching in the middle school and high school classroom, and am certified to teach in Ontario, Canada. Additionally, I have more than a decade of professional experience writing and participating in story development for both documentary and fictional film. My teaching style is best described as 'coaching for mastery.' I believe every child can move through the skills needed to master a subject if their teachers are able to diagnose where they are and help them map a plan to get to the next level. Origami is perfect for teaching your child the value of mastery and sticking to it.
There is no homework for this class.
