I have an English BA from Rhode Island College and am currently working towards receiving my Teaching Certificate from Providence College. I have been working as a High School teacher for about 2 years now. I teach ELD, also known as ESL, so I've worked with students whose first language is not English.

My students come to me with so many different backgrounds and experiences; some who know and understand little to no English, some who are fluent in English but struggle with certain reading and writing skills. I have students who were born in raised in the area, some who have been here for only a few short years, and some who just came to the US from another country. With all this, I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn and grow, and I believe everyone is smart and skilled in their own way.

There are different ways to learn, and one way won't fit every student. I do my best to try and work with each student and what they need to help them learn what they need to and grow socially and academically.
