HEAR MY STORY
I'm here to make your life in the classroom a whole lot easier.
I'm Bonnie From Presto Plans
Hello, Teachers!
You no longer have to build the plane while you fly it. I've already built it, and it comes with a manual.
I want to help teachers escape this pattern.
I spent nearly a decade in the classroom teaching English just like you. During that time, most of free time outside of the classroom was spent developing or searching for resources, planning for my classes, or marking the stacks of paper that continually piled up. I fell into a pattern of sacrificing my own time with my family and friends to work, and I still never quite felt like I was doing enough.

"Being a teacher is like flying a plane while trying to BUILD it."
I started my career at an international school in Beijing, China. I met my now husband there who grew up only an hour drive away from my home town!
I am lucky enough to be a mama to two sweet boys who make me laugh every single day.
While travelling in Vietnam with a group of teacher-friends, we found a random American school in the middle of the jungle while on a hike. We stopped to say hello, and they let us all volunteer teach the next day.
After school hours, you would most likely find me in the auditorium helping out with the drama club. In fact, I like theater so much that I was even married in an old local theater in my hometown.
I climbed Mount. Sinai in Egypt with a group of teachers. Because it is in the middle of the desert, and it is too hot to climb during the day, the hike started at about 2am and we arrived just in time to see an incredible sunrise.
