Class Experience

Outschool does not have the right to my intellectual property.  This course material predates any TOS agreement that says otherwise.

Learning Goals

The focus of this course is on using our senses to write.  While mechanics are important, the purpose of this course it to teach students how to be descriptive in their writing.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Virginia Teaching Certificate in Elementary Education

I am a licensed teacher in the state of Virginia and have worked in the public school system for about 10 years.  I have known my whole life that I was meant to be a teacher. (Ever since I taught my baby sister her alphabet when I was 5, anyway.)  

I offer a large variety courses in reading comprehension, literature-based creative writing, science, history, math and life skills.  I strive to open my students' eyes to the larger world through literature and exploration.    

I firmly believe that education should be individualized for students.  If I find that your child is struggling to access the curriculum, I quickly look to see what method would allow them to succeed and put it into place.  If your child has special needs, please reach out to me and I will work with you to make sure your student's needs are met to the best of my ability.  All teacher-created materials are in a dyslexia-friendly font.

Additionally, if you are interested in a course, but do not see a time that works for you, I encourage you to reach out.  If at all possible, I will gladly schedule a section that works for you and your child.
