Middle School Writing Program 8 Week Program

I'm a nut for English, reading, and writing, so much so that I teach all three and love every second of it! I teach middle and high school literature and creative writing and have led several book clubs.

I have taught in the private sector in K-12 since 2004 and have loved every moment of it. I have also volunteered to tutor K-12 and higher education in English, writing, and reading since 2010. I hold an Associate of Arts in English, a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English, and a Master in English and Creative Writing.

Students are individuals, and everyone learns uniquely. Every student's learning path is unique, and I utilize multiple teaching methods (visual, kinesthetic, auditory, and linguistic) to reach every student and allow them to soar. Every student contributes as a student, teacher, and thinker in my class. I learn from students as much as they learn from me. Students can explore and learn from what we read and write about in class by emphasizing a wholesome and safe environment. 

As a book nerd, I have a secret: I love to smell books. Flip them in your face and breathe in a kind of smell. I'm also a mother of four awesome kids; well, my twenty-four-year-old would correct me because he's an adult. I'm a homeschool graduate, class of 1998, and have written and published several poems and short stories in various literary magazines throughout the many years of writing. I was first published at 14 in a children's literary magazine, which hooked me for life.
