Personal Statement about Online Teaching:
The major challenge of online teaching is keeping lines of communication open with students, especially with those who do not participate in the class on a daily basis.

The reward of online teaching is knowing that I am providing an educational opportunity for students who are not able to find these courses in their own district. It is a great feeling to have students tell me that this was the best English course they’ve had!
