Table of contents

Hi. I'm a Business teacher and I spend my free time working on this online blog/textbook for IB DP Business Management. I also record and post video classes on YouTube, post chapter summaries and notes on my Instagram, and upload extracts from my classes onto TikTok. I draw all the illustrations, write the text and edit videos myself. Enjoy!
