TEACHING EXPERIENCE

From below-level to AP and college level, I have guided students through the intricacies of language and literature. With a profound passion for the arts, I've also delved into the realms of art history, film studies, and creative writing, nurturing students' creativity and critical thinking skills. My expertise also extends to fostering effective communication through speech and drama classes. My diverse teaching background has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of interdisciplinary approaches, enabling me to create engaging and enriching learning experiences for all students. I've taught in the university and community college setting as well as suburban and urban public schools, virtual school, and currently I am enjoying teaching in a public charter Montessori high school.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Holistic, organic, creative, interpersonal challenging, project-based, choice, discussion-based.
