Why did you want to come to Menchville?
I wanted to come to Menchville because Virginia is a very nice state. I know that Menchville is the cream of the crop. I know that if you come to Menchville you work hard and that this is the best school in the area.
What schools did you teach at before?
Technically I have not had a full year of teaching anywhere, I am a “freshmen” teacher, so Menchville is technically the first school I have taught at. I have had teaching experiences up in New York. I have taught all levels, elementary, middle and high school students, mostly in New York, where I went to high school, the elementary school in the same town and a high school in the next town over.
How many years of experience do you have in teaching?
This is my first year of teaching.
How do you handle your students?
Generally I treat everyone the way I want to be treated. I wouldn’t want anyone to be up in my face when I did something wrong. I try not to raise my voice. If anyone makes a mistake I try to make it known that you wont get made fun of that we are a team in this room. No body will laugh at you. “What ever mistakes the student has made the master has made a hundred times over.” So in order to learn you need mistakes to learn.
What expectations do you have for your students?
High expectations, even if you aren’t the best with math, give me a strong attempt and you make progress with math and your own life. Have you made your self better with organization. I expect homework and the students to be prepared.
What hobbies do you enjoy doing outside of school?
I love art, I love to draw. I love outdoor activities, kayaking, biking fishing.
What was your favorite class in high school?
I would have to say my favorite class in high school was probably art.
