I am a multi-published author, and produced screenwriter (I co-wrote LION KING 2 among many other movies) who understands the importance of making learning fun. And let's be honest, if learning isn't interesting than you're not going to do it. (I get it, I'm a writer, I've made procrastination into an art form). I've been working with young people for over fifteen years now: online, in person and all over the country which I think gives me an insight that a lot of teachers don't have, plus I have great stories about the many many people I've worked with including quite a few celebrities. Last, but most important, I believe in my students and
