"Thank you for visiting! I have 14 years experience teaching English, Literature, and Communication to high school and college students in a variety of modalities. I earned my B.A. and M.A. degrees in English and my Ph.D. in Education, and I really enjoy helping students feel more confident in themselves as learners. I specialize in meeting students where they are, outlining goals for our work together, and systematically working towards achieving those goals.

I have worked with students one-on-one, in classroom settings, in virtual/hybrid modes, and in asynchronous classrooms. I am currently the department head at the college I've worked for since 2012. My favorite way to teach is to outline a clear plan, deliver a balance of instruction and practice, leave room for questions, and check for understanding and future goal outlining. You will leave our session confident that you've made progress toward learning the material you need help with.

I am here to help you grow, and I look forward to working with you and your parents (if applicable) to excel in your education. Please contact me anytime, and I will respond promptly! I look forward to working with you." less...
