My name is Ivan Gorgiev, I have a bachelor’s degree in English language and literature with an emphasis on ESL and I am starting my 12th year of teaching. I speak 3 languages (working on my 4th one) and I am dedicated to promoting student learning with diversified instructional and classroom management approaches. Focused on appealing to a diverse group of students by helping interpret reading assignments and apply critical thinking skills. I am a compassionate teacher, who is aware of student’s unique needs, differentiates instruction, provides individual and whole group support, integrates multicultural teaching, and offers positive encouragement and reinforcement to keep students focused, motivated and inspired to achieve their goals.
