Teacher expertise and credentials
I am excited to teach English and Reading classes to your students, as well as creative writing classes and reading book club groups. I love connecting to students to help them discover and grow in their strengths, and assist them in addressing challenges. I love to incorporate creativity, community, and projects in my teaching. I also offer yoga/mindful, exercise, and theatre classes. I have taught English Language Arts and Reading for 15 years, as well as have practiced yoga for 12 years and taught it for a few years. I am a certified teacher for ELA grades 6-12 and a certified Reading Specialist for grades K-12. For fun, I like to kayak, engage in the arts - particularly theatre, and explore the world with friends. Reviews
