About Me

My name is Carmen Perez-Ortiz. I was born in the Dominican Republic and I moved to the United States when I was 17 years old. I have been an ENL teacher at P.S. 360 for 24 years. As an ENL teacher, I work with students whose home language is not English and I help them improve their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English. I love traveling, reading, and spending quality time with my family. Some of the most exciting places I have visited are the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, the Wailing Wall in Israel, Machu Picchu in Peru, and the Blue Mountains in Australia.
