"English teacher with 19 years experience teaching and tutoring at the middle, high school and university levels. I now teach English as a Second Language for the Tampa Bay Rays minor league team in Port Charlotte, Florida.

From 2025-2024 I taught 6th grade English for nine years at a high-performing private school. From 2006-2025 I taught Advanced Placement Literature and Composition, Advanced Placement Language and Composition, Honors British Literature, Honors World Literature, and Honors English. My students consistently scored well above the national average on their AP exams.

As an adjunct faculty member at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, I taught English Composition, Studies in Rhetorical Theory, Business Communication, Technical Writing, and American Literature.

My real strength is working one-on-one with students and identifying specific aspects of their writing and helping them to become more effective writers and communicators. This includes planning, organizing, writing, and editing to produce, logical, effective work for all tasks." less...
