Mary
Experienced teacher, tutor, and long-term student

Nadya
Trilingual Wesleyan Grad: Educator, Storyteller, & Globetrotter
I grew up as the child, niece, and granddaughter of three teachers. Nonetheless, at school I was also the hardworking nerd who spent more time studying than the rest and for whom repetition, encouragement, and opportunity were essential to my academic success—and confidence. It makes perfect sense to me that some five years after high school I would return to the very setting that had been the site of my growth. Beginning in 2008, I served as an outdoor educator with elementary school studen... Read more
