Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a master’s degree in English and creative writing. I have taught English for seven years. Much of what I’ve learned about teaching has come from homeschooling my eight children. Learning takes place when the heart is engaged. This class is open ended and aimed to fit the individual student. Books and writing topics will be chosen according to the student’s interest and suggestion.
