About Me
I am an elementary school teacher at a Public Charter School. I am originally from New York City and moved to the DMV area about 3 years ago with my now, 6 year old daughter.
Experience
I am currently a 2nd grade teacher. I am currently certified and highly qualified to teach K-12 education/virginia/washington-dc">Special Education. When I first moved to the DMV area, I was hired as a special educator for grades 6-8th grade specializing in Math.
While in New York, I was a pre-school teacher for 2 years while studying at Hunter College (located in New York).
Approach
As a child, teachers always taught learning strategies the same exact way to ALL students, we had no choice but to learn that way and easily accepted that we just were not good at math or reading. This is NOT TRUE!
As a teacher, I am dedicated to ensuring that your scholar learns in his/her own way and offer different methods to learning one skill. I am dedicated to empowering your scholar; thus leading to success in the classroom!
