I am a dedicated and committed individual who is passionate about education. I believe that all children are educable. However, they learn at different rates and in different styles. I believe that all students deserve the opportunity to excel academically, and it is the teacher's responsibility to ensure that each student is given the opportunity to achieve his/her greatest academic potential. I am a certified teacher in Middle School Math and Social Studies. I have experience teaching math, reading, and social studies. I have worked with at-risk students and am adept at identifying things that prevent at-risk students from succeeding.
