Zora

I've been an educator for over fifteen years, primarily teaching History and Science, but working with students from kindergarten through undergraduate school from Toronto to San Francisco. I have spent most of my teaching career working with ESL and students with a variety of Learning Disabilities in charter and independent schools here in NYC, but have also worked as an instructor in Cultural and Regional Studies in Arizona at Prescott College, and completed my teacher training with the New Teachers' Collaborative, formerly part of Harvard University, in Massachusetts. I studied Anthropology at the New College of Florida, and Regenerative Studies (sustainable design) at Cal Poly, Pomona. I have also served as a teacher mentor with the Academy for Teachers and participated in the Zuckerman Teacher Fellowship for Neuroscience at Columbia University. When not teaching and tutoring, I am often playing sports or doing yoga, reading, making music, or escaping the city to spend time in nature with my beloved dog, Dolores.
