Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello!
I am a passionate certified teacher who is excited to get to know you!
My main area of focus is grammar. Yes, you heard correctly. I love grammar. I adore grammar. I breathe and dream grammar.
My program is self-developed after years of working with students who loathed, despised, and abominated grammar. Okay, that may be a bit dramatic. However, it is not uncommon for students to feel very confused about it. I would like to challenge that though by offering students a fresh yet
19th century approach.
The 19th Century Grammar Program is a 45 lesson program that uses 19th century homeschooling matriarch Charlotte Mason's original grammar methods, but also incorporates a modern form of sentence analysis. Students enjoy this critical thinking approach much more than the rote memorization offered in most grammar programs. It also helps lay the foundation for understanding punctuation rules including comma usage, semicolons, and preventing run-ons and fragments. This program can either be taken as 2 semesters with 2x/week meetings or 4 quarters with 1x/ week meeting.
I also work alongside Teacher Jade Weatherington. We collaborated, and I developed a course to help students in grammar, punctuation, and word choice in their essays that they write for her course "Mastering the Five Paragraph Essay". My course "Mastering Grammar in the Five Paragraph Essay" is an authentic way for students to refine their skills.
I would love to work with your child whether it is an introduction to grammar, a review, or different approach. Please contact me with any questions so we can find the best fit for your child!
