TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have been teaching ELA in middle schools and high schools for 13 years. I have taught honors courses at the high school level and remedial courses at the middle and high school levels. I am currently teaching 7th grade ELA.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I am 100% student-focused. I like to keep things creative and fun, but students who enter my classroom also know that much will be expected of them. No matter what, though, I will be there to help them every step of the way.
