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.
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.
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.
