A Wanderer and Teacher
Bradley Arnold, or Dr. Brad, is a highly experienced educator with more than 30 years of dedicated service, teaching in Asia and Africa. During his travels, he explored diverse terrains, lived through all sorts of unheard of weather, tasted the most amazing dishes, suffered through unnamed tropical diseases, experienced military coups and nationwide strikes, and met some of the most amazing people you will ever find.
​
Dr. Brad was born and raised in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. He attended university in Philadelphia and then joined the Peace Corps to became a volunteer teacher in Cameroon. Then during the next 30-something years he lived in Thailand, China, India, Qatar, and Sudan. He taught English, media technology, and communication, directed several school-wide technology programs, and earned a Master's degree in Teaching ESL and a PhD in Education. Most importantly, he raised a family and now has two incredible adult children.
​
While Dr. Brad had several remarkable adventures during his career, his primary concern has always been his students. While he has taught practically every subject in one form or another and every grade from pre-kindergarten to the master's degree level, his primary focus has always been on guiding students to develop effective communication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills. ​
Dr. Brad has unique exposure to teaching practices in different countries, using both local and international curricula. He has taught in the most primitive of conditions, as well as helped design some of the most cutting edge high-tech classrooms for the time. Dr. Brad's teacher toolbox is indeed quite large, and he clearly brings a unique perspective to the learning experience. And now he has returned to his home of Ohio to help a new generation of learners.

Writing & Critical Thinking
We write to make our thinking visible to others.
Therefore, writing instruction should focus on making the writer's thoughts clear and meaningful to the reader. Instruction for learners requires individualization, a framework for building skills, and constructive support. ​
​
At Wanderwise Learning, we specialize in developing reasoning and communication skills through writing. All lessons are designed to build writing and critical thinking abilities. We offer a set curriculum as well as customized courses, trainings, or mentoring. We also provide courses for public speaking, debate, presenting, and other forms of communication to meet specific requirements.
