Parent, 7th Grade Student

"You have a special way with children at this developmental level and I am glad you chose to be a teacher. The children obviously trust you."

Parent, 8th grade student

“Your ability to perceive and respond to the needs of your students comes from your skills and experience, but your sincere interest and intuitive talent sets you apart.”

Andrea S, parent

"I have had the privilege of having Ms. Younger teach both of my children. She is sensitive to and supports the individual learning needs of her students and works to strengthen their unique abilities. Ms. Younger treats her students with genuine kindness, has wonderful creative energy in her teaching and truly enjoys getting to know each and every one of her students. She is a gem of an educator and person to know."

Sam S, former student

"I could go on about Ms. Younger’s positive attitude, or even her ability to break down subjects in a way that is easy to grasp; however, what really makes her special is the way she bonds with students. Ms. Younger is simply a lot of fun to talk to. Additionally, she is really good with answering questions, and also does a great job helping the people who need it."

I’ve been mulling for a while how to articulate how your teaching and support have helped (my children) in their learning . It’s very difficult to sum up but I think the evidence is in the results - (my son) has been selected to study biology this summer in the Galapagos. He will also be presenting findings for the second time at a scientific conference being held in NC in March.
