Hello! I am currently a full-time college instructor.  My areas of expertise include reading, writing, and study/learning skills.  I currently teach Academic Survival Skills and College Literacy to college freshmen, and I teach developmental writing online to adults of various ages across the country.  With my experience and education, I know that I can effectively prepare high school students for college level work and expectations. I also often teach students strategies for helping them succeed in their other college level courses.

I have knowledge and skills that allow me to help any student properly learn, absorb, and remember course information, so they can succeed and improve in all classes.  

My style and belief of teaching is simple yet effective: I am a facilitator. I first explicitly teach strategies for reading, writing, time management, and studying. Then, I model how to perform each strategy. After this, I have students take their learned knowledge and apply it to their own courses. This is my strategy for success:  explain, model, apply, and support.  

For writing, I give incredible feedback for student growth. This includes specific, highly detailed feedback that looks at every word, every sentence, every paragraph, and every paper to ensure a well-structured, cohesive, professional writing piece. In addition, I offer students strategies to take with them to help them construct a paper of any kind.

I am excited to share my expertise to more students across the country.

If any of my courses are not offered at a time that you prefer, or if you would like a private session with me and your child, then feel free to message me. I am ALWAYS willing and able to make time for your child's success.
