"I have been teaching middle school English/Language Arts for five years in Georgia. In 2022, I received a Master of Arts in Secondary Education (certified 6-12) with a concentration in English. Prior to classroom teaching, I spent time independently tutoring students of a variety of ages (most 4th-12th grade) in reading, writing, grammar, and mechanics. I have always been passionate about these areas of study myself, but as a classroom teacher, I have coupled that with a passion for the age group. One of my favorite experiences is teaching a student the practical means of creating an analytical or argumentative essay because learning how to write is one of the most effective ways to open up new opportunities for these students.

Throughout my time in the classroom, I have practiced differentiation across all scopes, so I believe that I am qualified to apply that pedagogical knowledge to this content as well. I have two small children, and I am looking to take my knowledge and experience a bit more outside of the classroom as I balance working with motherhood. However, I am not willing to step away from students completely, as teaching combines two of my greatest passions in life - reading and young people." less...
