I am a former university instructor that specialized in making introductory courses fun, engaging, and relevant to everyday life. I have over 16 years of experience teaching at the college level, where I held the position of Master Lecturer before I left to focus on homeschooling my son full-time. In addition, I have over 3 formal years teaching philosophy courses to kids, ages 6-16. I volunteered at both a local public high school as well as a private school alongside performing my teaching duties at the university, as I was conducting informal research into the philosophical abilities of children.
