I have been teaching homeschool for 10 years, teaching High School English, Creative Writing, American Literature, and Honors AP courses for English. Taught in public schools from 2016-2020, K-12, teaching High School English during those 4 years (including Honors AP English and American Literature). I have over 60 credit hours toward my psychology degree, with 2 English Composition Courses (English Comp 1 & 2), a creative writing course, as well as a course on the analysis of movies and their impact on society. I have worked with students with special needs from ADHD, autism, and dyslexia. All 4 of my children have autism and ADHD, and 2 of my children and I have dyslexia, so I have experience firsthand as well as with my own children not just students when it comes to working with special needs.
