A charismatic teacher getting better with every lesson! M. Ed.

...as an Elementary teacher, I have experience teaching in our toughest inner cities, suburban and rural areas. As a result, I have learned how to create engaging, relevant and specific lesson plans. Teaching English in China peeked my interest in pursuing ESL, where I received my first Master's in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). This opened doors to not only continue teaching ESL in our K-12 schools, but also college level courses...

...more recently. After studying Mandarin Chinese intensively in my undergraduate program, I moved to Shanghai where I lived and worked as a jazz musician for nearly eight years. During this time, my Mandarin reached a level of fluency I never could have attained otherwise.

...languages wherever I go. My language education started with French as a child, a language my family loved to speak at home because of their travels in France and in French-speaking islands. In high school, Spanish became my language of choice because of all the Spanish I heard on New York City streets, and people's expectations that I be able to speak it, too. This eventually led me to study Spanish in Chile, South America,...

...infectious diseases research and my experience being an EMT, I have had the opportunity to communicate with, teach, and learn from all different sorts of people. In addition to a love for science and Spanish, I am also a passionate reader, writer, and musician. My philosophy is that no matter the subject, when a teacher truly knows their student (and vice versa), learning is accelerated for both parties. I look forward to meeting you!

This can be the difference between simply memorizing some facts and truly understanding the material given to you.

I strive to be that source of guidance for all students who need it. I...
