Andrew Pudewa
Andrew is the founder and director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing. Presenting throughout
North America, he addresses issues relating 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 (Suzuki Method) and holds a Certificate of Child Brain Development, his best endorsement is
from a young Alaskan boy who called him “the funny man with the wonderful words.” He and his
beautiful, heroic wife Robin are parents of seven, grandparents of five, and educators of their two
youngest children at home in Oklahoma’s Green Country.
