A Little Bit About Me...

I am patient, have a good sense of humor, and strive to help students achieve to their ability. I have great faith in children's ability to develop proficiency in any content as long as they have adequate support. One size does not fit all in education and I use differentiation and different teaching modalities, with a lot of realia and manipulatives, to meet the students' learning styles and preferences, and the content area. I rely on colleagues for assistance when I am unable to fully help a child.
As an Adult Education teacher I taught learners from High School age through 70 year-olds. I taught office occupations; ESL; and GED, ABS, HS diploma and citizenship. I developed knowledge and skills in many content areas and in the management of students. I have taught post-graduate classes in computer applications for different content areas, reading and writing for elementary ... read more

"No one will care what you know until they know that you care." I have great enthusiasm and passion for teaching and I make great connections with students. I know all people are capable of change and growth. I strive to help create life-long learners who are motivated to grow. My instruction and coaching techniques are very user friendly, and have been very successful for high academic achievers as well as students who struggle with academics and are very resistant to anything that has to do with school.
As a high school teacher for 13 years, I have had a profound impact on the academic and personal success of a great majority of my students. I have won many "inspirational teacher awards" and have been identified by many of my students as the teacher most responsible for their success. They have said that I have made learning interesting, fun, and rewarding for them because I ... read more

As a lifelong learner, I'm always motivated by students who have a curiosity for improving their own skills. I have a BA in liberal arts from Vassar College and a MS in Education from Queens College, which I earned through the full-time work/part-time study New York City Teaching Fellowship. I am fluent in Spanish, conversant in Japanese and French, and am always excited about learning more languages. As a special education teacher, I've worked with large classrooms, team taught with colleagues, and overseen the development of children with more severe disabilities in reading, writing, and math.
I believe that education should be tailored to the needs, abilities, and learning styles of each student. I believe in consistent positive reinforcement and praise, and in tracking and measuring skills so that students have evidence of their progress. I hope to help students discover the in ... read more
