IEW® reviewed the work my students produced, and this evaluation earned me accreditation at the Certified level. I have used and taught this program since 2008.
  
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Music and Musicology with a focus on African music composition and ethnomusicology.  As a lifelong learner, I am passionate about exploring, cultivating, and sharing knowledge.  Over the past 12 years I completed a plethora of college credits to upgrade my own skills and update skills from previous studies. These include many credit hours of archaeology, human development psychology, languages and writing: English/Afrikaans, critical thinking-, information-, and knowledge management skills.  I personally used IEW™’s  #1 award winning methodology to plan and produce all my university assignments, so I know first hand how valuable this approach is.
While homeschooling our family, we overcame various learning difficulties and through our own journey, I gained diverse experience with ADHD, ADD, auditory, and sensory integration deficits. A rare vision problem of one of my children resulted in delayed reading and writing, which was thankfully overcome through much patience and intervention. This young man is now a senior @ERAU in Aerospace Engineering with Astronautics!  The other, who has severe myopia, graduated early from @FlPoly and is a budding Data Scientist.  Success is attainable to everyone who chooses to navigate life with love, patience, precision, and intent. 

The only goals we get, are the goals we set!
