Teacher expertise and credentials
I love history and learning about how people lived during different times. I like to do research into how people lived and trying things out for myself. I believe the best way to learn about something is to try and experience it first hand and through this class we will try to experience this as best we can. I have traveled extensively and interacted with many cultures firsthand, so i have a broad first hand experience and understanding of different cultures and their effect and perspective on the world. I teach history classes on Outschool in a variety of formats and subjects and am a former Arts and Crafts teacher.Reviews
