TEACHING EXPERIENCE

From 1991-20007, I worked as a substitute, part-time and full-time teacher in public schools in Northern Virginia and Atlanta.

MY TEACHING STYLE

"To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education. I call it intrusion." Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie
