Experience

I have spent four years in a high school classroom teaching all levels of history and English. My passion is working with students who are struggling academically and behaviorally. I have a strong repertoire of strategies and systems that ensure all students will be engaged and perform well. I look forward to sharing ideas on how to motivate students of all levels to learn and succeed.
