Hello! I am Ms. German, a friendly, dedicated and experienced teacher with a background in Elementary Education and English as a New Language. I started my teaching career as an English as a Second Language teacher abroad, and have now been teaching in the NYC public school system for the past 7 years. I currently teach a linguistically and culturally diverse class of 4th graders. I love helping my students not only reach their academic goals but develop their own eagerness for learning. I believe differentiated, cultutally reponsive and data-driven instruction is important for all students.
