My Experience

After a lifetime of learning and teaching, every year my hunger to learn grows. Enabling every individual to strive towards their goal is my passion, for them to be ambitious, successful and not afraid to give it a go. The key to learning is risk taking and honing in on the associated skills to cognitively process what happens as we take risks. Learning is a basic human right and we all have a responsibility to each other; the journey of learning can be a personal and social one, how much richer it will be if we are open to challenge and share our growth with others.
