Fun Facts
One of my biggest passions is Art through different mediums. I love photography, drawing, painting, and dancing. I have been dancing ballet and contemporary dance for 6 years now. Whenever I want to relax, I find that any form of art (depending on my mood) helps me reduce stress.
About Me
Hi there, my name is Silk, a recently enlisted High School English teacher through LAUSD. I have completed my Bachelors in English Literature and my Masters of Education. Although my area of expertise is English, I was always a strong Math student growing up and can help you with either Math or English depending on the level.
Experience
Before attending Cal State LA, I dedicated a year of service through AmeriCorp City Year. It is an educational nonprofit that tries to reduce dropout rates in certain regions. Through this experience, I worked with High School students as a mentor, tutor, and role model. I believe that with this experience, I can solidify even further my passion working with students through Frog Tutoring.
Approach
I have always been a part of LAUSD as a student. I was fortunate enough to attend college right after high school. I experienced the many waves and changes that LAUSD has undergone including budget cuts. Because of this, I have noticed the shortage of teachers in many subjects. I want to become a math teacher in LAUSD in the future. Before this however, I want to work closer with students one-on-one before because it is also something I am very passionate in doing!
