I am an ESL/ Bilingual social studies teacher at an extremely diverse school in Norwalk, CT. I teach English to new immigrants who have been in the country for less than a year, and to more advanced students who are working on mastering their English proficiency .
I also teach United States and World History in both English and Spanish to students with extremely limited English.
I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to work with students of all ages and backgrounds. My students need more support than typical American teenagers because they are undergoing many more life transitions and adapting to a lot of customs that are often very strange to them. They need extra support as their responsibilities outside the classroom are immense.
I hope that you can find it in your heart to support my students, giving them the extra boost they need to be successful!
