If you give a man a fish...

When I was 15, I went to a Sunday program at the New York Aquarium, where we got to see the Beluga Whales up close.  At the end of the program, the teacher mentioned that they had a docent program every summer.  That summer, I applied and was trained to be a docent for  the Education Department at the Aquarium, and began my love affair with education.

Since then, I have taught everyone from 3 year olds at a science activity to 90 year old Christians who wanted to learn about Israel.  I have worked with the Ultra-Orthodox world as well as the secular anti-religious one and have learned something from each and every group.

This blog will follow my teaching experiences.  This fall I will be finally going back to school to get my teaching certification, but don't plan to work full time immediately.  I will however, be tutoring a special needs 5 year old in science, English, math and Judaism.   I am also tutoring a 15 year old girl in conversational English.
