My name is Michael Wanek and I founded Advance Your Education in
2005. Having been born into a family with a long history of teachers, I
was inspired since childhood that education and learning is one of
the most fundamental experiences in life. We will all spend our lives
constantly filling our minds with knowledge, facts, and skills of all
types providing us the ability to experience the beauty of life.
Personally, I have been teaching for 14 years in a wide variety of
subjects and have been a student of many disciplines. My teaching
strategy is multifaceted but I believe that students will get the most
out of their learning through guided discussion and building a
positive visualization of the learning objective. A brief summary of my
background illustrates that learning is the spice of life.
