The Right Personal Connection Can Lead to the Right Brain Connections
Allow me to quickly describe my own educational history. I attended Santa Clara University directly out of high school because Dad, my adoptive father, thought I'd make a good engineer like himself; this was mostly because I had a superior aptitude for math and was pretty good at drawing and computer programming, at least for that time. I attended school there for a year and a term before I began experiencing health problems--since resolved--and tried to switch to performing arts, and my pa... Read more

Resourceful teacher with broad age range experience.

These three proved instrumental in advancing my teaching s... Read more
