Orientación para padres

Occasionally a story may have some aspects such as death, a battle, etc. As these are Myths and Legends the stories tend to hold the full spectrum of life on earth within them. However, I ensure things are NEVER gratuitous though.

Growing up in the UK as a minority, I have always studied the non-mainstream perspectives where-ever I could, meaning in all my degree subjects (Philosophy, History & Psychology), I have thoroughly studied different cultural perspectives, and when teaching ensure all my sources are directly from the culture in question.

I have tutored and home schooled in my degree subjects for ages 4-18, taught in schools in my native country the Gambia, and nannies a (ages 0-11). Often questions around cultural differences or equality issues have come up and I am able to handle them softly, while ensuring the student leaves with the knowledge that equality is important for us all! 
 
I am well-traveled, and love to explore new perspectives in my personal life!
