👋 Hello, and thank you for visiting my Outschool profile! Since I was 5 years-old, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. Now, 7 years in my career, I still love it. There is nothing that I enjoy more than helping my students reach their goals and become better readers, writers, and thinkers. In all of my classes, I incorporate evidence-based techniques and strategies and focus on making learning enjoyable.
In my brick-and-mortar classes, I work with all levels of students (IEP students, general education, and high ability students). My goal as a teacher is to foster critical thinking and communication skills in order to help your child achieve their goals and become more proficient readers, writers, and critical thinkers. More than that, I encourage students to fall in love with learning.
For Outschool, I teach literature-based courses, novel studies, writing courses, grammar, vocabulary/etymology, test prep, and reading comprehension/strategies. My classes cater to all learning types and students are expected to participate in order to get the most out of the lesson. Students will complete my classes feeling accomplished and successful, as building confidence and true enjoyment in the subject is my first priority.
I have specialized training/experience in helping students prepare for most types of test prep including: PSAT, SAT, NWEA, MAP tests, AP Literature Test, High school entrance exams (ISEE/SSAT (all levels), HSPT, and SHSAT
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and being frequently caffeinated.
