Bio
Jeffery Kloko
It is an honor to recommend Tamar Smirl as a professional educator. I taught with Tamar at Grand Avenue middle school as a fellow 7th grade teacher in Family D at the school. Tamar was a conscientious, hard working middle school educator who consistently built quality relationships with her students, instilled in them a sense of accomplishment, and consistently encouraged her students to strive for excellence. As a colleague she was a pleasure to work with, easy going, and collaborated well with the other teachers in the Grand Avenue Middle School family. Sincerely, Jeffery A. Kloko
Kenny Jackson
