Experience

I have taught grades 6-8 for two years, and am currently in my fourth year teaching grades 9-12. I am certified as a Teacher of English in both NY and NJ state. I teach in low-income areas where students often have trouble with motivation, focus and success. I am well-trained in many different reading and writing programs that help to inspire young minds. I currently teach an AVID(study skills) class, a literacy strategies class, an English I class, and an English IIIH class. I wrote the entire curriculum for the Elizabeth school district grade 9 on my own. I have a 99.8% HSPA passing rate for the Juniors that I teach; they are often times 4-6 grade levels behind where they need to be to score proficient. Previously, I was a tutor and an Assistant Director of Education for the HUNTINGTON LEARNING CENTER in Verona, New Jersey. I tutored students that ranged from age 5-adult. I am well-versed in SAT materials and the skills necessary for a child to reach a target score. I am absolutely dedicated to student achievement and am passionate about creating a spark for education in students.

Hobbies

I am a 28 year old female with the tendency to get children to open up to me fast. I can somehow lecture without sounding like I am lecturing. I am just young enough to connect on one side and just old enough to command respect on the other. It is my vast experiences with students that help me to connect to children of all ages. I enjoy reading and writing. I have an extreme degree of patience and understanding. I enjoy hiking and the outdoors. I am an avid yoga student. I take a personal interest in gardening and the environment.Most of all, I am positive. I love to laugh and enjoy life.
