Ms. Burke

Teacher at Sakura Girls' School, loves special education

🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States
Sakura Girls' School
Since 1998
English

I came to teaching late, after working as a farmhand, and 28 years later I still can't imagine doing anything else. Over the years I've had 1,540 students pass through my room. A few of them became teachers themselves, which still makes me smile.

More about Ms. Burke

The students I remember best weren't always the top of the class. They were the ones who asked "why?" when nobody else did.

What gifts mean to Ms. Burke: Any gift will help me keep tutoring for free.

I was in your mixed-ability classes class in 1999. You believed I could do it before I did. Greetings from Sydney.
