Geography is one of my top subjects! Need to learn how to read a map? What's a legend for? How do you know what is North? I'm in love with geography. I'll bring my maps and you'll bring yours and we'll discover the world.
My teaching style is creative, casual, positive, intuitive, and focused. I teach a striving for excellence not just in a particular subject but in life in general. I set a high bar (based on where the student stands) and I help the student achieve it. I believe there is brilliance in us all.
I am both a right and left brain thinker evidenced by the fact that I have both an academic undergraduate degree and a fine arts undergraduate degree. I have taught college students Graphic Design at Otis College of Design as well as Geography, Social Studies, and Art to K-6. I have spent 30 years as a Graphic Designer and Creative Director at educational institutions. I value instilling pride of accomplishment and critical thinking skills above all else, not matter what the subject. When a student has both of those he or she can learn almost anything.
