Empowering Young People with Life Skills
Hi everyone! I’m Joanna Thomson, a local GTC registered, PVG cleared, REHIS certified Home Economics teacher. I run weekend workshops in Edinburgh to teach young people the essential life skills they need before moving out. From delicious budget friendly cooking to washing clothes, registering with a local doctor and brain fueling nutrition, my goal is to send them off feeling confident and capable.
