I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing my master's degree in writing. I designed this class to help students refine their own writing skills and develop a unique writing voice. This course is intended for those who have an interest in writing and are eager to take on a challenge! (Beginners are welcomed, as well as students who maybe don't "like" writing but would like to better their skills before attending college.) - Essays - Poetry writing - Creative writing - Scholarship essays - Formatting in MLA + APA - Classic literature author studies - Admissions and applications information (See syllabus for a full breakdown of class time.)

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold two bachelor's degrees, one in creative writing and another in child psychology. I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing my master's in writing.
I have taught on Outschool for over 4 years and have homeschooled my own kiddo since kindergarten (who is now in high school.)
Plus, honestly, teaching is my passion, and I LOVE my job! :) Which, I think is the most important factor here. Reviews
