*Please send me a message if you would like to schedule another time. 

In these 55 minute, one-on-one sessions, I will cover whatever topics are most beneficial for your learner. I would be happy to help students who struggle in English class by focusing on topics such as reading comprehension, grammar, literary analysis, essay writing, and more. If your learner is struggling with a particular text, I would love to read it with them and discuss before they tackle related assignments or classroom discussions. I am happy to help with assignments from IXL, CommonLit, NoRedInk or any other web-based platform.

Students who excel in English class are welcome as well! Together we can work on advancing English related skills or reading and enjoying literature that will not be covered in their regular English class. 

I am a licensed English teacher for students in grades 5-12 in the state of Minnesota. I grew up on a farm, I played sports and an instrument in high school, and I enjoy theater. I love connecting with students by asking them about themselves and discussing topics of their interest. I use humor quite a bit while working with students. I am exceptionally kind, gentle, and patient as an educator.

Please communicate what would be the most beneficial focus for our time together. I will come prepared with tips, topics for discussion, fabulous literature, and positive energy. During our first session together, I will take the time to get to know your learner, assess their reading or writing level, and ask them what they are interested in learning. This does not mean that I will ignore any parent communication or requests, but I will find ways to incorporate students' interests if possible. If you have any questions, please reach out!
