Why I teach

I teach because I love teaching. Teaching connects me to people I would not otherwise know; it expands my world. It's a great feeling to have something useful to offer, and I believe the English skills I can share will be crucial to my students in pursuing any of their dreams. I believe facility with language enriches life. A teacher of mine wrote, "If the teaching enterprise is noble, it is so because it unites young and old, pipsqueak and fogy, in common cause and common humanity."

Best part of being at SVC

The best moments so far have been the ones in which students have found they are proud of work they have struggled to create.
