About Me

I graduated from Bowdoin College with a B.A. in Africana Studies and a French Minor. After Bowdoin, I worked at the Fay School in Massachusetts where I wore multiple hats. I was a dorm parent for ninth grade girls, basketball coach, track and field coach, ESL teacher, admission officer, Ethics and Wellness teacher, and French teacher. After Fay, I attended Teachers College at Columbia University where I received my M.A. in Education Policy. I love education and I love working with those who want to learn and try new things. I believe the best way to learn is through practice, interactive lessons, and allowing the student to take ownership of their education. My favorite subjects to teach are math, french, and ESL. Personally, I was born in Senegal and love to do West African dance any chance that I get.

Q&A with Awa

As a teacher it is important to build rapport with the students that I work with. Through building this rapport I am better able to individualize the way I work with each child, assuring that they are learning in the format that best works for them. I find this to be very important, especially since each child has a unique way of learning in order to excel.
