Position:
English Teacher
 
 
Background:
MA in English/Teaching Writing from Rutgers Camden
 
BA in English/Secondary Education from Rowan (formerly Glassboro State)
Teaching Philosophy:
 
I realized in high school when I was teaching my friends Algebra that I was good at explaining things.  It made sense to pursue English (Literature and Writing) since that was what I liked and what I was good at.  My goal is to have the students teach me as much as I am teaching them.  Often students bring valuable insights to class that I take with me into discussions with friends, family, and other students.  I enjoy the time spent in the classroom, reading, talking, asking and answering questions, finding out why something is difficult, or why it came so easily for another.  I want students to feel like they've spent quality time in the English classroom and that those class lessons are really life lessons.
 
 
Additional Info:
I spent a year teaching English to Korean middle school students in South Korea. I spent seven years in educational testing, reading and scoring essays and open-ended responses. I have taught Composition I and II for Camden County College as well as HSPA/SAT preparation courses.
