I am currently a teacher at a private school for students with disabilities. I graduated with my Masters degree from Montclair State University with a dual certification in K-6 and special education. I teach students from ages 14-18 and have found techniques utilized in the classroom are extremely effective when tutoring students one on one. Teaching is a critical component of my life and observable progress means the world to me. Ive found that academic progress stems from interpersonal relationships between teacher, student and content. I enjoy teaching every subject but specialize in English and Social Studies. For me, its simply about making the academic content engaging for the students. Ultimately this leads to comprehension and personal intellectual progress. In my spare time I enjoy exercising, cooking, reading and traveling!
