I have been teaching World Languages at the 6-12 level for 20 years. I am passionate about improving students' cultural competencies and proficiency based-learning. I teach German 2 online with North Carolina Virtual Public Schools and teach German 1-AP at Northwest Guilford High School. Our school has a GAPP Exchange, National German Honor Society, and German Club and we regularly take part in the National German Exam, NC-AATG's German Immersion Weekend & state German Day competition, and Step into German's Bundesliga Total!
