      English Teacher and Director of College Counseling

      AcademicI taught 11th and 12th grade English B as part of SGS’s IB Diploma Programme. Also, I taught 9th and 10th grade Pre-IB English and history, both designed for non-native English speakers. 11th grade Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is the forth course I taught. My English and history courses were designed to prepare students for IB higher level exams. TOK was designed to help “students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know"​ (IB Website). Other than teaching, I was on Saint George's committees for ELL policy and technology policy.Previously, I taught 12th grade analysis and composition for native English speakers.AdministrativeI spent four years as a college counselor and the final two years as the director. I worked to help students and families make decisions about higher education based on a number of important factors. My focus was on helping students understand their different options based on their own unique interests, desires, and expectations, in conjunction with material considerations like GPA, strength of curriculum, test scores, and school costs. Some topics students and I discussed were the requirements for admissions, application deadlines, types of applications, recommendations, and writing college essays. I also wrote counselor recommendations on behalf of Saint George’s School for roughly 1/2 of each class’s students.ExtracurricularI coached HS soccer, MS basketball, and MS baseball. Additionally, I participated in events put on by the Saint George's School outdoor club, including hiking, camping, and snowboarding.Previously, I coached one season of high school varsity baseball and one of 7th grade girls' volleyball.
