Something interesting about me is that I really love avocados! It might sound cliche, but I am the type of person who can have an avocado for each meal...and have it unsalted! However, chocolate is the holy grail and takes precedence...

...classes, including AP Psych, AP Seminar, AP Research, and AP Statistics. I have passed each of the APs with a 3 or higher.

Inspiring them to be kind, be their best, be honest, work hard, and strive to do the right thing through positive praise and consequences. My goal is to help students become more intrinsically motivated to succeed. No one knows that student more than themselves.

Soon after, I joined Teach For America in 2009 as a corps member and worked in the Boston Public School system. I was lucky enough to...

...Village, NYC, for 25 years, I home schooled my three children, now ages 14, 19, and 22. I have taught every aspect of English, from teaching my kindergarteners to read and write, to elementary, junior high, and high school grammar, spelling, writing, and American and European literature. I've taught classes and worked with students one-on-one. I've also helped prepare students for the English language sections of high school entrance exams and SATs.

I believe all students are entitled to an equal education. Students need to learn on their own level. If it takes more time to learn a subject, we need to allow the student the time to learn.
