Teacher expertise and credentials
I have lived in 4 different countries and traveled to more than 20 countries around the world. Every trip I have taken has expanded my world view and my global education. I believe that world schooling is a very powerful way to learn and want to take some of the lessons I've learned from the world and translate them into the online classroom.Reviews
