Why I love teaching PLS 3rd Learning classes:
I've taken nine PLS 3rd Learning classes myself. I believe in their philosophy, and I use the skills from these classes on a daily basis in my third-grade classroom. Being a PLS 3rd Learning instructor is more than a job to me. It's a way of life!
What are students saying about my classes?
"Tom Monzo has been my instructor for a number of on-site classes. Tom's commitment to his students, energy and enthusiasm keeps the classes new and innovative. Sitting in a class on a Friday evening or a Saturday morning is not my idea of a "good time", but Tom has a way of grabbing my interest and putting a smile on my face. I highly recommend choosing Tom as your instructor." - Bill Lazaro, Turtle Creek, PA
