TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I began my career in education creating original worksheets and teaching tools to make learning English fun and engaging for Japanese school children in Japan. I returned to New York City and used these techniques to create reading materials for visual learners and emergent readers. Quite often I am asked to modify curriculum that is several grades above the natural cognitive abilities of my kids. To help them achieve success, I modify the content to suit their needs.
