With 20 years of experience teaching and tutoring secondary English, I’ve worked with readers of all ability levels from advanced to below grade level. I can support students with both basic literacy skills and high level analysis skills. I’m a National Board certified teacher in English for Adolescents/Young Adults and I have a Masters degree in Teaching Secondary English in addition to an MA in English from the Bread Loaf School of English at Middlebury College. I'm also a College-Board approved AP English Literature teacher.
