About Me

I have been a Certified teacher since 2014. I have taught every grade from kindergarten through 8th grade. some may have been in summer school, but I have also tutored kids in preK through Junior year in high school. I have helped kids get ready for elementary and middle SSAT tests, with great success. even if I myself have not taken the middle school SSAT test for Varsity. People often ask me why after 23 years working in different aspects of health care why I would want to become a teacher. and deal with other people's kids when I had a good job that I was really good at. I didn't have a response to that question right away. I had to sit with it a few moments and look at the big picture. And then, this is what I said to those people asking, I said,: Did you go to elementary school? oh yes they said, my fourth grade teacher was so cool. I asked: do you suppose that Doctor so and so went to elementary school? well I'm quite sure they did. why are you asking me these obvious questions? everyone who works here had to go to elementary school. I simply smiled that's my why. And I tutor because my seventh grade algebra teacher tutored me, an honors student who would get kicked out of honors if I did not at least get a B in his class that I was failing. Who taught 7 classes a day came to school 45 minutes early every day to help one student be successful in his class. That was a teacher who truly cared about education. and I wanted to strive to be like him.
