Lessons Learned in 30+ Years of Teaching - Andrew Pudewa, Part 1

It’s a joy to be able to sit at the feet of someone who has been teaching for over 30 years. It’s an additional privilege for that person to have been a homeschool dad to his 7 children! As part of our Meet the Cast lineup, Yvette Hampton sits down with Andrew Pudewa, IEW’s founder and principal speaker, who has spent the last 3 decades speaking and writing about issues related to teaching, writing, thinking, spelling, and music with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor.

Come back Wednesday and Thursday for the rest of this conversation.

Andrew Pudewa is the founder and principal speaker of the Institute for Excellence in Writing. Presenting around the world, he addresses issues relating to teaching, writing, thinking, spelling, and music with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor. His seminars for parents, students, and teachers have helped transform many a reluctant writer and have equipped educators with powerful tools to dramatically improve students’ skills. Although he is a graduate of the Talent Education Institute in Japan (Suzuki Method) and holds a Certificate of Child Brain Development, his best endorsement is from a young Alaskan boy who called him “the funny man with the wonderful words.” He and his wonderful, heroic wife, Robin, have homeschooled their seven children and are now proud grandparents of eleven, making their home in Northeastern Oklahoma’s beautiful green country.

Andrew Pudewa’s mission is to equip teachers and teaching parents with methods and materials which will aid them in training their students to become confident and competent in various modes of written and oral communication.
