𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁: This class will touch upon various pieces of American literature from Pre-Civil War Period to the Modern Period. The 2nd semester will continue the Modern Period to the Contemporary Period.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲: My teaching approach for Huck Finn is to discuss how/why Mark Twain chose to write the novel in the way that he did. Further, we will discuss his use of satire to expose the flaws of society. There is a book option that omits offensive words, and offensive words will not be used in class or on any presentation materials.

I am a home educator with 17 years of teaching experience (ages preschool to 12th grade). During the early years, I taught and tutored local homeschool students in various subject areas. Around 8 years ago, I concentrated on teaching middle school and high school English. Then, I expanded my circle to include virtual learners in early 2020.
Because I was a learner who found it difficult to understand the writing process, I am passionate about helping learners develop their writing skills. I have a proven track record of success in teaching writing to students of varying ages and abilities. I believe that even the most reluctant writers can learn to better express themselves with the right guidance and prompting.
My experiences with my own children have given me insight into the challenge of working with different learning styles, as I have a college junior on the autism spectrum, a college sophomore with ADHD, and a gifted 11th grader. Meeting the demands of each child required a deep understanding of their individual strengths and needs, along with an adaptable mindset regarding educational strategies.
