NAC Teachers are Amazing

It’s worth repeating, NAC teachers are amazing! We are so grateful for all the wonderful teachers, past and present. New America College would not be the same without their dedication.

Why Our Teachers Teach at NAC

Many of our teachers have been with us for years! One teacher has been with us since 2010; others since 2016. While our teachers each have their own reasons for teaching at NAC, there are some general themes that stand out. All of our teachers enjoy getting to know our students and watching their English ability grow. Having our students gain confidence and empower themselves through language and communication is wonderful. Watching them then go on to achieve their goals is even better! 

Another favorite reason our teachers teach at NAC: the community. Getting to know their students, their cultures and their perspective on the world gives the teachers the opportunity to continue learning as well. “The constant mixing of cultures is fantastic!” You can read more about our teachers here.
