Andrew Pudewa

Founder, Author, and Director Andrew Pudewa  is the founder and principal speaker  of the  Institute for Excellence in Writing  and a father of seven. Traveling and speaking around the world, he addresses issues related  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  and holds a Certificate  of Child Brain Development from the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, his best endorsement is from a young Alaskan boy who called him â€Å"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  Tulsa, Oklahoma.
