The Chief Academic Officer of TeachersBox LLC is a William and Mary alum who has mentored me for the past three years.  He suggested that I research how teachers differentiate instruction to mitigate achievement gaps between students from low-income and higher income families. TeachersBox also made several recommendations that improved my research proposal, reviewed my personal statements, and helped me secure an internship that strengthened my graduate school applications.”
