TEACHING EXPERIENCE

My classes: -9, 10, 11, 12th grades English. -9th and 10th grades Italian (levels 1 and 2) -9th grade Global Studies/World History -12th grade Psychology -College introduction (100 level) psychology, sociology, and anthropology.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I like to fuse the traditional with a modern approach. Most of my lessons will include a bit of formal instruction with modern references or off-beat activities to pull the students into the lesson.
