TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I started teaching high school English in 2006. for 14 years, I taught everything from the 7th grade to AP Seniors. I have created my own curriculum for nearly everything that I taught: novels, grammar, writing, and speech.

MY TEACHING STYLE

I have created nearly all my curriculum from scratch. I like to avoid easy questions that can just be copied from the neighbor's paper. Novel units include non-fiction and cultural context.
