Timothy Jenkins Instructor

I have been a part of Sartori's program since 1987 and spent 3 additional years in education before coming to Sartori. I am certified in social studies and language arts, and have taken many courses to help with teaching general education. Sartori provides students with the opportunity to bury the past and start fresh. It is my responsibility to discover and foster the talents and skills of each student. The individualized instructional model at Sartori makes me more of a coach or facilitator than a traditional teacher. Essentially my job is to help students learn how to learn. The small school environment at Sartori enables me to know each student as an individual. Understanding the challenges students face and helping them overcome obstacles is the most rewarding aspect of teaching at Sartori.
