Hi! My name is Lori, and I’ve been a teacher for 12 years. Besides my time in the classroom, I’ve spent five years teaching English to ELL students and teaching CogAT classes online. The best part of teaching online is meeting students from all over the world—I hope to see your student in class soon! 🙂
