TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Greetings! An English teacher for over 15 years, I have taught a range of courses including: 9th grade, 10th grade, 11th grade, American Literature, A.P. English Language and Composition, A.P. English Literature and Composition, Advanced Composition, Advanced Literature, Creative Writing, Adaptations of Great Books, and Mythology.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Keenly aware that students learn best by doing, my hands-on assignments task them with closely engaging in what they learn.
