Bio
HI - My name is Elisa. I currently live in NY and also spend time in AZ. I have a golden doodle named Bailey. I enjoy walking by the beach, cooking, baking, travel, music, real estate, and sports. Spending time with family and friends is important to me. I am patient and listen to students' needs. Setting classroom goals, expectations and rules for all students allows for better understanding and improved learning environment for all learners. Differentiation of instruction, use of real life examples, and the integration of technology allows the learner to be engaged and develop a deeper understanding of content. No two students learn exactly the same. Taking the time to listen to student and teacher needs in each learning situation is my strength. My goal is to improve student learning with better communication in a safe environment, grow into global citizens and improve self-confidence and self -esteem.
Teacher Specialization
I have a BS in Mathematics from Boston University. I am AZ SME Certified Math Teacher Grades 6-12. I have 2 years of virtual teaching. My work experience of more than 25 years includes: resource center math/science /study skills specialist, and classroom math teacher in middle/high school and adults.

My organization, collaboration, and communication skills were exemplified through work as an Admissions Testing Coordinator, IB Math SL Teacher Online Facilitator, and work as an IB Maths A &I examiner (since 2008 Math SL,Studies). I possess many outstanding qualities including excellent organizational and time management skills. My strong communication and interpersonal skills enable me to work well with parents, teachers, administrators, clients and learners. Differentiation of instruction, real life examples, and the integration of technology allows the learner to be engaged and develop a deeper understanding of content.
