TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've been teaching since 2008. I started out teaching English Language Learners, but I've worked with teachers in all different subjects to help make content accessible for language learners. I also have a Masters in Reading and have a level 2 Wilson Certification. I use my combined experience with ELLs and readings to create accessible products. I love helping kids meet their true potential.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like lessons that are fast-paced, rigorous, and most importantly, interesting to the students. I try to include games and interactive activities whenever possible. I never teach the same thing the same way twice, there's always room for improvement or a new idea.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

Wilson Levels 1 and 2 Certified.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

Bachelor of Arts in Spanish. Ed.M in Teaching English as a Second Language from Boston University. Ed.M. in Reading and Language from University of Massachusetts Lowell.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Living in NH, teaching all different types of learners, enjoying time with my husband, two cats and two dogs!
