"I am a certified PA English teacher, currently teaching high school English to 11th and 12th graders (though I have taught grades 9-12 at least once). I got my degree from Penn State in 2022, and then went right into the field of teaching. As an expert in English with a deep love for literature, writing, and communication, I specialize in helping high school level students strengthen their skills in reading comprehension, essay writing, literary analysis, and effective argumentation. I believe that writing skillfully with purpose and understanding how to identify technique and meaning in literature are not just academic skills: they’re life skills. Whether your student needs help breaking down a dense novel, organizing a persuasive essay, or improving grammar and clarity, I have a vast and deep array of practical strategies and subject knowledge to bring to every session.

What truly sets my approach apart is adaptability. I have a wide range of tools and techniques at my disposal, but I never use a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, I work closely with each student to understand their individual learning style, strengths, and goals. My focus is on meeting students where they are and building their confidence step by step: whether that means reinforcing foundational skills, tackling AP-level material, or simply making English feel a little less overwhelming. I’m here to help students succeed in a way that works best for them." less...
