Hello! My name is Maggie McNally. I’m 24 years old and currently teach grades 4-6 at a public Montessori magnet elementary school in Charleston, SC. I will be living in D.C. for the summer and spending much of my time tutoring students in the D.C./MD/VA areas.

My background:

I was born and raised in Westchester, NY but decided I wanted a change of scenery for college. I stepped way out of my comfort zone and ventured down South in 2014 to continue my education. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of South Carolina in 2018 with a B.A. in Elementary Education. Through my program at UofSC, I earned my South Carolina educator’s certificate to teach grades 2-6. After completing my student teaching practicums in Columbia, SC, I recognized the great need in this state for passionate teachers committed to excellence, and felt I needed to begin my teaching career here. I applied to the Charleston County School District and received an offer to teach Upper Elementary at Montessori Community School, a K-8 public Montessori magnet program serving roughly 300 students throughout the greater Charleston area. While teaching here over the past two years, I also successfully completed an American Montessori Society (AMS) accredited teacher education program, earning my Elementary I-II Montessori Credential. As an Upper Elementary Montessori teacher, I teach all core academic subjects (math, ELA, science, and social studies) for grades 4-6.
