I have been an educator for 15 years teaching elementary, middle, and high school. I have taught online classes to students around the world for the past 5 years. My goal with all of my classes is for students to learn while not realizing they are learning! Currently, I work with kids every day as a middle school teacher and love to watch them get excited about tech! We will have a great time cracking and creating codes together. Reviews
