Summary

Many of my students and their parents are still in contact with me, and thank me for giving them the skills that helped them succeed in high school and beyond. They all remember the activities, foods, music and arts attached to the lesson plans. Many parents asked me for help in their child’s understanding in subjects other than what I was teaching at that time.

Caring Teacher with strong communication skills and drive to excite students about learning.
