Meet Your Instructors


Adrienne and Marianna (Masha) are lifelong educators with a passion for teaching and mentoring. In or outside the classroom they strive to bridge the gap between what is and what can be. Through mentorship, guidance, and understanding we all become better educators.

Our Philosophy: At the New Teacher Mentoring Society we take you from THEORY to PRACTICE!

  • Teachers bridge the gap between what is and what can be.
  • Approach education through the lens of possibilities.
  • Teachers are humans working with other humans. We must be both CONTENT matter and PEOPLE matter experts.
  • Relationships! Relationships! Relationships!
