Teaching

Interested in a class near you?

I love to travel and teach. I would love to visit your area and tailor a program for your members. I am located in the ACT, so any place 3-5 hours away is manageable on weekends. Even more so if local hosting and fuel costs can be covered. 

If you are interested in organising a class for me to teach in your area, please fill out the following form: Form 

Please note that I am a fulltime teacher mundanely, and therefore can only teach on weekends or during the ACT school holidays.

Here are examples of previously taught classes:
