Wilmington, Delaware – Local educational entrepreneur Beverly Stewart is now a regular guest contributor for Your Morning on CN8. For over 25 years, Stewart, a former teacher, has been recognized as one of the area’s leading experts on education.

“Quality education is something that I am truly passionate about,” says Stewart. “I currently act as a consultant to parents regarding various educational issues facing families, from choosing a new school to helping a child use more effective study skills. CN8 has provided me with a unique opportunity to reach so many parents and has also given me the latitude to suggest segments on a wide variety of education related topics – everything from preparing for SATs to choosing homeschooling as an option.”

It’s this passion that has made Stewart and her educational philosophies the subject of innumerable newspaper articles, magazine interviews, and even books. In 2000 she was the subject of a full chapter in the nationally-released book The Educational Entrepreneur: Making a Difference and in 2005 her business was highlighted in the book What No One Ever Tells You About Financing Your Own Business. Stewart has also been featured in such national publications as Entrepreneur Magazine, The New York Times, and Consumer’s Digest.

In addition, Stewart is the CEO of Beverly Stewart Consulting LLC which offers nationwide business consulting to potential entrepreneurs and current business owners.
