I’m an internationally featured automotive educator, seen in publications like Oprah Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, Forbes, and Al Jazeera. With over 5 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 eight 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!), including John Jay Criminal College, Vanderbilt University, LeMay – America’s Car Museum, University of California, and others.
My goal is to offer automotive education for regular car drivers in an accessible and easy-to-understand format and to definitely encourage questions.
