I know firsthand the frustrations many learners feel when they are assigned to write an essay. Trust me, I WILL make the process fun and painless. For over 20 years I have been teaching the writing process and have helped our school's writing scores become the best in our state. With the tools I will give the learner, he or she will become more confident and less frustrated in the writing process! If a learner is already working on an essay, I will help them with the process. If the learner just wants to gain a better understanding of how to write essays, I will give that instruction as well. Some of the things I will focus on are 1. Brainstorming topics 2. Creating an outline 3. Explaining the four types of attention-getters 4. Creating solid thesis statements 5. Writing good topic and concluding sentences 6. Showing students how to support their topic sentences with supporting evidence 7. Writing the concluding paragraph and wrap-up If learners need help with MLA formatting, MLA citing (parenthetical or in-text), I will be thrilled to help in that area as well! I will be constantly giving feedback, will give helpful handouts, and will do anything I can to make sure writing is not painful or feel like a chore! Learning my standard process for writing essays will truly help and take the stress out of writing.

Students will improve their essay-writing skills, including how to organize their essay as well as write the three main parts: Introduction, body, and conclusion.

Hello, and welcome to my profile!
My goal is to guide learners through the enriching world of writing, the practicality of important adulting life skills, and the everyday relevance of consumer math and personal finance. Setting learners up for success now and later on in their life is essential, and I hope to be part of that journey! Recently being recognized as an Outstanding Educator on Outschool in both 2023 and 2024 has further motivated me to create an empowering and engaging learning environment for all learners!
My academic journey led me to acquire Bachelor's Degrees in English, Journalism, Writing, Finance, and Music, topped with a Master’s Degree in Education. I LOVE to learn and share that knowledge with others 🙂. Throughout my teaching tenure, I spent 21 years in a high school setting, am an adjunct professor, and the proud owner of a private piano studio. With my experience of 26 years in teaching, both online and in-person, I've honed my skills to become a multifaceted educator passionate about fostering growth and knowledge. I am here to help your learners grow and gain confidence!
🌟My teaching approach is patient and hands-on, designed to engage learners of all ability levels. I've worked extensively with a broad spectrum of students, ensuring that learning is accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
🌟The courses I offer are as diverse as my experience, covering an expansive range of subjects like writing, literature, consumer math, personal finance, and a host of practical adulting skills.
🌟A little bonus for animal lovers—my cat, Tybalt, often makes a cameo during classes! When I'm not in the virtual classroom, I cherish my time with my three amazing children, play the piano, enjoy a good workout, or unwind with a book at the lake.
🌟My mission extends beyond mere teaching. I aim to instill confidence within each student, nurturing them to blossom into the best version of themselves. I'm thrilled at the prospect of being part of your exciting learning journey here on Outschool. Let’s embark on this educational adventure together!Reviews
