I have been a high school educator for ten years and am especially interested in helping students to learn communication skills in English, German and other languages. I am the World Language department chair at my school and teach all four levels of German, and also have experience in teaching high school Latin as well. My German students who have gone on to college German have consistently tested into higher levels of the program. I also have extensive classroom experience in helping students become better readers and writers in English. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching and playing sports, exercise and writing.
