Teacher expertise and credentials
New Jersey Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts
Master's Degree in Education from New York University
Since the beginning of my graduate studies in Educational Theatre at New York University I've held a strong interest in exposing others to creative ways of learning and providing a platform for self-expression.
I've taught English through Theater to High School students in Zanzibar East Africa (where I was stung by a jellyfish)! I taught Character Study, Shakespeare, Playwriting and Performance at a High School in Newark, NJ. I taught 3rd grade in New Jersey and in North Carolina. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant at the Graduate level at New York University. In between, I've worked as a teaching artist to practice social emotional learning with adults and youth grades K-8. Then, I decided to homeschool my son for preschool while teaching ESL on-line. With my son, I enjoyed helping him explore my love of reading with his natural love of math. I was so excited that he was ready for Kindergarten that I knew I just had to share our curriculum with other families. Now, I am not only sharing my preschool curriculum but other classes from my background as well. I do hope that you find something your learner can enjoy.
