It was during college that Sarah discovered her passion for teaching.  After graduating from Trinity College in 2009 with a degree in French and Philosophy, and with only a month long intensive in Teaching English as a Second Language, she left for Tunisia to teach in an international school.  She quickly discovered that she was "overwhelmed and uprepared for teaching", so she decided to get her teacher's license.

The Alternative Licensure Program at TILA was perfect for me - it's a flexible, intense program, and with all that learning, I never had to step into my classroom unprepared again. TILA helped me re-discover the passion for teaching after my first unsuccessful attempt. - Sarah Jenkins, 2011 TILA Graduate

Sarah is currently teaching English Language Development at the Lotus School for Excellence, a charter school in Aurora, CO.
