I’m an internationally featured automotive educator, seen in publications like Oprah Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, Forbes, and Al Jazeera. With four years of virtual teaching experience under my belt and references from libraries, universities, and non-profits across the US – this is no pandemic pivot!
So that you find the perfect fit for your needs, I offer a range of seven different automotive programs. These programs are designed for a diverse audience, taught live by me, and run ~ 60 – 90 minutes. I’ve taught classes at libraries, universities, and nonprofits across the United States (and Canada too!).
My goal is to offer automotive education for regular car drivers in an accessible and easy-to-understand format and to definitely encourage questions.
