Emily Sokol

I grew up in central New Jersey, graduated Temple University with a B.A. in English, Political Science, and Art History, and earned my M.S. Ed in Literacy Education from the University of Pennsylvania. I am a certified Secondary English teacher, Reading Specialist, and 200-hour RYT Yoga instructor. I've taught grades 6-12 in the Rio Grande Valley, Houston, and Austin, Texas, and this upcoming school year I am thrilled to be joining the Esperanza Academy Middle Grades Community as the 7th & 8th grade English Language Arts teacher in Philadelphia, PA. When I’m not teaching, planning or grading, I enjoy spending time with my family, practicing yoga, hiking, reading, cooking, and eating.
