Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I love history and learning about how people lived during different times. I like to do research into different events and the impact they had on the world. I believe we need to learn from the past and what happened in order to impact the future. One of my favorite quotes is "Those who don't learn from History are doomed to repeat it" I want to pass that on to my learners so they will also learn and impact the world. I teach history classes on Outschool in a variety of formats and subjects. In this class I want learners to hear what really happened so they can form their own opinions and learn from the past. I welcome their insight into the events and questions about what happened, and it's effect on the world today.
