Hi Breakthrough!

My name is Megan Toyama, and I taught two summers at Breakthrough Sacramento. I'm currently working as a tutor-teacher at City on a Hill Charter High School (CoaH)--an urban public high school in Boston, MA. As a member of the CoaHCorps, I work with small groups of students on a math and English curriculum. As a future teacher, this one-year fellowship has been the perfect stepping stone experience between Breakthrough and classroom teaching.

The application for the next CoaHCorps is now available! I strongly encourage you to check it out! The CoaHCorps website is: http://www.cityonahill.org/tutor_full_time.php. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the program!

Breaktastically,
Megan
