My Story

Ann Kitching, B.A., B.Ed., M.Ed.

As my first career, I taught second-language French and French immersion subjects to (mostly) students aged 11 to 14. I learned a lot about classroom management, how students learn, and how to break down complex subjects into easily-digested basics.

It is my sincere wish to help you draft your stories so you can share them with the world.

The world’s waiting for your brilliance.
