I am certified to teach grades 7-12 (middle and high school level) English/Language Arts in the state of Texas. I also hold a Bachelor's in Maritime Studies (anthropology), with minors in English and Archeology, and a Master's in Education. Furthermore, I took classes in film studies and have a love of all things Horror and macabre. My teaching experience allows me to take this love and share it, while adding an educational and critical approach to the viewings.

Grownups can also check out parent and child reviews at Common Sense Media and the IMDB Parent Guide. Learners will need access to streaming platforms, a library, or hard copy of the films. We may occasionally play games on Kahoot!, an account is not needed.
