In addition to building confidence in each part of the essay process, learners will improve their overall ability to write an essay based on literature.

I am a home educator with over 16 years of teaching experience with ages preschool to 12th grade. I have a proven track record of success in teaching writing to students of all ages and abilities, and I am passionate about helping learners develop their writing skills because I was a learner who found it difficult to understand the writing process. 

Specifically, I have taught multiple years of Middle School and High School English, including composition, literature, and grammar.  Currently, I teach an intermediate and an advanced high school level composition/literature course at our area homeschool cooperative.  

I believe that even the most reluctant writers can be unlocked with the right guidance and prompting. I have a college junior on the autism spectrum, a college sophomore with ADHD, and a gifted 10th grader.  Teaching to varying learners has given me the unique insight of how to teach children, at various levels, to express themselves.  

The following includes some specific examples of my teaching experience:
-I have successfully developed and implemented my own writing curriculum for middle and high school students.
-I have worked with students on a 1:1 basis, as well as in a classroom setting, to help them overcome specific writing challenges.
-I have mentored other home educators implement strategies to help struggling writers, as well as provided them with resources and support.
