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.

One of my favorite things to do is to write. That's why I created this course for potential short story writers. I love seeing young writers become passionate about writing, rather than waiting until they're older, looking back and wishing they had begun writing when they were younger. So if you have a potential writer, a creative learner who always tells stories, or one who wants to start writing, now's the time to begin writing and learning how to do it correctly. Now's the time to excite and encourage them, and allow them to be creative and learn to write in the comfort of their home.

I've written stories, plays, and songs and really enjoy writing. I hope to share my enthusiasm about writing with your potential writer and help them become a great writer now. Why wait? Enroll your writer today with me in Write YOUR Story - A Creative How-To Story [self-paced] Writing Course.
