Teacher expertise and credentials
26 years as a teacher/coach/developer of awesomely successful students in English Language Arts.
Over 1 million student-hours of expertise and understanding of student needs from all around the world, in-person and online.
I have taught English Language Arts to students who went on to become successful doctors, lawyers, writers, journalists, engineers and musicians.
As the daughter of two teachers, I always knew that I’d be a teacher. I also know that when you step outside of your box and comfort zone the learning happens. This is especially true in the Education Technology and why I am here at Outschool.
I am also a teacher who:
1) Has created and loves piping-hot new, useful and engaging Educational Technology, especially in the advancement of reading.
2) Is deeply experienced with diverse learners.
3) Is engaging and brings an “Edutainer” approach with students (but not tacky or over-the-top-cringey!).
