Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Indiana University
Hello, I'm Paula Reid and happy to meet you and be able to teach your child/ren. I've been in the education field all my life it seems, from helping my classmates finish their lessons when I was in second grade to becoming a teacher and then a Principal when I grew up. I've also been a business owner for my years. But I love teaching! I love children of all ages and I love seeing learners become the best that they can be . . . and it happens through great parenting, education and phenomenal teaching.
I have a BA in Psychology, an MA in Education, Special Education and post-graduate work in School Administration. I've taught learners from the ages of 4 to seniors in urban, rural USA, Africa and South America, as well as ESL classes to children and young adults in China and a few other countries. I've been an online teacher for almost seven years now and have enjoyed every moment.
My every day goal is to help people, to learn something new each day and teach something to someone; additionally to help students love learning, become life-long learners and develop a healthy, global view of our world.
I've traveled extensively around the world several times, meeting people, learning different cultures, swimming with crocodiles in Australia, camping in the outback with kangaroo rats jumping across my sleeping bag, having hidden lemurs jump from trees onto my shoulders stealing my bananas and scaring me in Madagascar! climbing the Birunga Volcano in Rwanda to observe mountain gorilla families, coming face-to-face with a huge brown bear in Alaska, riding camelback in the UAE, sleeping in a yurt and riding a reindeer in Outer Mongolia and staring a rare and poisonous snake in the face in Costa Rica.
I love life, traveling, reading, music, photography, theater, adventure and I'll love teaching your child.Reviews
