Bio
Sandra Myers
It is a pleasure for me to write a letter on behalf of Elisabeth George, as we worked together at Squaw Valley Academy Bay Area. The challenge will be conveying her stellar qualities in a few sentences and condensing her teacher talent, dedication, work ethic and integrity adequately. Elisabeth is truly exceptional in all of these areas. I have had the honor to work with Elisabeth side by side and witness no matter how difficult the task at hand, she accomplished it with grace and serenity. Her sense of teamwork, and rapport with both colleagues and students are exemplary. Her ability to assess problems and discern a range of solutions were noted by many. I will certainly miss working with her. Whoever is fortunate enough to acquire Elisabeth services will not be disappointed.

Elisabeth is a true asset to any school. She is a hard-worker who is willing to take new challenges every day to impart instructions and create an excellent classroom environment. She has an excellent rapport with students, colleagues and parents. Her instructional methods are modern, innovative and adaptive to her students needs. She contributed immensely to our school over the year by developing core curriculum and providing instructional support across the curriculum. She was always willing to help out fellow teachers in an effort to make our school a better learning environment. She also contributed greatly to school culture by being an advisor to clubs, serving as an unofficial advisor to other educators and being one of the leaders of the school. Her knowledge as an educator and as a resource for Social Studies is unmatched. In addition, she is charismatic and creative and is known to think outside the box in an effort to keep her lessons fresh and engaging to her students. I am confident that she would contribute effectively to any school and I highly recommend her.
