Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an Economics Post Graduate and have been teaching for the last 13 years to various age level students both at Private and Public schools in Bay area, California. Currently, work as a Public school teacher. I am passionate about teaching and love sharing my knowledge with others as I believe this is extremely rewarding. I decided to become a teacher because I love to learn, be around children, and learn from others. Every single day we as teachers make a difference in someone's life which goes far beyond knowledge. My motto is to inspire, support, mentor and get the chance to discover and share some of the best parts of ourselves as human beings.
I live in the San Francisco Bay area with my husband and 16 year old son. When I am not teaching, I like reading and listening to music. I love traveling around the world, knowing different cultures, social lives and their cuisines.
I am excited to meet my new students and looking forward to working with them soon.Reviews
