Summary

For the last 2 years, my time has been dedicated to homeschooling my son Jonathan who is diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. In addition to standard academics, due to severe speech delay, we have devoted hundreds of hours to intensive speech therapy. I am proud to say, this year my son will be attending Lanna International full time.


I am interesting in volunteering at a part-time capacity as an educator. I have an incredible amount of admiration for Thai culture and the Thai people, and my view is that fluency in English is one of the biggest advantages that children in Thailand can strive for. I would like to help.
