Hobbies
I am a kid at heart. I love to make learning fun for my students. I have a deep interest in history, sports and fashion. I try to make connections to help my clients understand what they are learning. I am a fun person, and no matter what age group I teach, I still like to add coloring and cool technology projects in to my lessons.
