Teacher expertise and credentials
Texas Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Hi! Thanks for checking me out!
I teach middle to high-school English, math, social studies, medical terminology, creative writing, essay writing, novel studies <3, and gemology.
I'm a certified teacher from grades 4-12. I also teach at a local community college.
Learning can and SHOULD be fun. Even if a student doesn't LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the subject, it really doesn't matter. Making class fun, safe, and SUPER Interactive is SOOO important to me.
A little about me... I'm a total nerd. No joke! I own it like a badge. I've served our country and I LOVE helping people. I have three rescue fur babies, one amazingly beautiful daughter, and a wonderful husband! My in-laws are as AWESOME as my own parents! I'm blessed for every day I have.
Can't wait to meet you in a class SOON!!!
