Fun Facts

I have three kids of my own - two are teenagers and one is still in high school, so I not only teach high school, but I know what goes on "behind the scenes" and can relate.... I love to do hot Pilates and fit that into my daily schedule when I can!

About Me

With 24 years of experience in secondary education, I have dedicated my career to fostering a love of learning and a deep understanding of the English language and literature. I bring a wealth of experience teaching students from grades 7-12, and I have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges students face at all levels.

Experience

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching a variety of courses, including college prep, honours, SAT prep, college-level writing, and reading intervention. My expertise spans reading Intervention strategies, reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and mechanics, writing revisions, and the development of strong writing skills. I have also guided students through the intricacies of research papers, senior projects, capstone papers, and annotated bibliographies.

Approach

My teaching philosophy focuses on personalised instruction, helping students identify their unique strengths while building on their academic confidence, and, of course, raising SAT scores! With three children of my own and teaching high school for a length I understand the challenges facing teenagers today and can help students succeed in reaching their academic goals.
