Teacher expertise and credentials

Hi there! 

My name is Randi Olan and I will be a sixth year 4th grade teacher in a public school in New York City! I love teaching and learning from my students. I like to get to know each of my students as an individual and help them explore their hobbies and interests. As a teacher I like to make lessons relatable and show them how they can apply these new skills in their everyday life. Besides teaching, I love traveling, exploring the outdoors and taking advantage of what New York City has to offer!
