Welcome!

I look forward to working with you!

These are exciting classes that I love to teach! I hope you find them interesting and inspiring. I look forward to getting to know you and reading your thoughts on the many interesting topics we will cover. 

Remember I am here to help you succeed so talk to/email me so I know how I can help you!  We can Zoom if you wish!  I have my Power Points and Chapter Videos online to help you with each step of the class.  The goal is to learn, develop critical thinking skills to use throughout your life - and to have fun while you learn!

I wish you all the best!

                                                                 - that is the goal of true education."
