I have taught middle and high school English Language Arts for 17 years. I have taught English literature and composition for advanced students preparing for private high schools with even higher aspirations of attending ivy league schools. I have taught at all grade levels from grades 4 through 12. I have tutored adult college students in these areas as well. I have taught students with minimal English and have taught seventh grade students who read at first grade level. I have achieved great success for myself while completing courses in my doctoral program.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students should choose words that are not related to topics that are culturally insensitive or violent. I will preview their words before class. ***Students must have their camera turned on. This is not a lecture type of class. Students will be encouraged to participate and usually do so easily. Your student's presence adds to the atmosphere of the class. If you student is unwilling to keep their cameras on, I will dismiss them from class. Engagement is key in student understanding. I need to see your student to gauge your student's participation and understanding so that I may reteach a topic or review if necessary.***
