진행 중인 글쓰기 클럽: 다양한 주제와 여러 문단으로 된 글쓰기 탐색

I teach writing classes to K-12 students. The classes will cover many genres of writing, such as Personal Narrative, Fiction Writing, Essays, Poetry and more. Grammar and organization will also be an important part of these classes as well. 

 I have been teaching since 1992. I have taught all grades in and outside the traditional classroom. I have a B.A. in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and a teaching credential from California State University East Bay. 

My philosophy on teaching writing is that it first should be engaging and fun. Writing is a subject many people struggle with, and I want us to have enjoyable sessions while discussing possible topics and getting to know each other. I believe that students should be able to choose their own topics, with my help, when they need it. I will help to take the pain out of writing and help to students to enjoy the process. 

I really love to read, and when I was a kid, my parents had a boat that we used to sail around the San Francisco Bay. My family would make fun of me because while we were on the boat, I'd read my books while my parents said I should be looking at the scenery. Today, I still love reading, but I also take time out to enjoy all the stuff around me as well.
