Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My degrees are in history and English literature. I love studying history, literature, and film so I've taken as many courses in those areas as possible! During my academic career, I took courses in 18th-19th century English history, modern US history, history through the novel, Irish literature, Shakespeare, 18th century English literature, and children's literature. I also love film studies and have studied film making quite a bit on my own in addition to taking courses on the Western (in all it's forms from spaghetti to Star Wars) and Alfred Hitchcock.
I have been a homeschool parent for the past twelve years as well as an online tutor and small group instructor.
I offer courses in history, geography, literature, and film studies for 5th-12th graders.
During my time as a homeschool parent, I found I love working with emerging readers, so I also offer reading tutoring for the younger grades (K-4).
I value education and being a curious learner. The world is so large and amazing! We should all want to learn as much as we can about our history and culture that shapes us.
In my spare time I love camping, hiking, and knitting.Reviews
