Welcome to 5th Grade! My name is Mr. Tai and I teach ELA and Social Studies. I'm starting my second full year at Idar after working as a guest teacher here back in 2021. Before this, I was an ESL teacher in China and Ukraine, where I worked with students of all ages. I completed my undergraduate degree at Middlebury College in Vermont, and I recently completed my Master's of Arts in Teaching Elementary Education. In my free time, I like to read books, go rock climbing, cook, and relax at home.

 

I'm so excited to work with your child this school year to help them become a stronger reader and writer!
