My name is Ariel Leist. I grew up in long island and now live in NYC. I have my Master's degree in special and general education from Fordham University. I received my undergraduate degree in nutrition and child/family studies from Syracuse University. Teaching is my passion, I feel I have the ability to truly connect with students and form an amazing bond. In addition, to teaching them to prepare for not only what is in the classroom, but also what's beyond it. My philosophy is that there is no wrong answer only the answers never said.
