Introduction

Welcome to our 7th Grade DEV ELS/READ MS A & Math Tutoring Lab Classes! I look forward to taking part in the journey of giving you the resources and skills necessary

for English Literacy and Math. My belief is that every student is capable of achieving their learning goals with effort and hard work that comes from structure and motivation. My goal is to come prepared daily and give a 100% effort during each instructional period. I expect the same from you.
