Author and teacher Dr.Anthony Raimondo

If there is one thing a teacher knows, it is that the classroom is not where a lesson ends, it’s where it begins. Author and teacher Dr. Anthony Raimondo understands this well. On a constant pursuit of understanding, he earned four degrees: a bachelor’s in music and a master’s in communication and theater from William Paterson College, a master’s in education supervision from St. Peter’s College and a doctorate in education supervision from Bernelli University. He has dedicated 17 years to the Newark Public Schools, where he currently works as a special education teacher for the learning disabled and emotionally disturbed. During his career, he has taught both English as a second language and adult basic development, a program providing those without a high school education the skills to obtain a diploma. It was while teaching that the inspiration to this asks, “If someone wrote your biography, what would be your theme?” This question changed something within Raimondo. It led him to accelerate his spiritual growth. He attended the Master’s Center Institute of Hypnotherapy in 2006, where he learned about the subconscious mind and obtained much of the knowledge he shares in his literary debut, Return to Eden. (Dog Ear Publishing, October 2009) He also focused on practicing martial arts. Dr. Raimondo is a fourth-degree black belt in Yoshuskai Karate, and has taught martial arts for 20 years.
