Experience

I have been a high school English teacher for the New York City Department of Education for twenty-six years. Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with students with varying abilities and needs. This would include English language learners, students with individualized educational plans (IEPs), and students ready for various advanced courses, all of which require a teacher to have specific skills sets. I am particularly adept at helping students feel relaxed and confident in their learning environments and developing individualized instruction. I honestly feel that I could not have chosen a better career for myself, one that has provided me with countless rewards. I now look forward to bringing my extensive experience to an online environment and meeting new students from all over the world.

Hobbies

I love to sit down with a good book and discovering new authors. I speak Italian with near native fluency and enjoy visiting Italy whenever possible. I do a lot of bike riding when the weather cooperates. My greatest passion right now might be playing music. I am a bassist who is very into jazz and American roots music such as blues.
