Students will learn the story of Romeo & Juliet and feel empowered to truly understand Shakespeare's language, his poetic style, and his insights into human nature.

Prior to joining Outschool in 2020, I was a classroom teacher of middle school and high school specializing in senior level English for more than 20 years. I have taught Shakespearean texts to students from grade 7 to 12.  I have a bachelor's degree in English from Trent University in Ontario, Canada and a bachelor's of Education from the University of Western Sydney in Australia.
