I received a B.A. in English from Northern Illinois University in 2010. I am a certified High School English teacher for grades 9-12. I took a class during my B.A. called Advanced Essay Composition and I feel like that shaped the way that I write; and took my practice to a whole new level. It is strategies and methods that I learned in this class that I try to incorporate in my writing and my teaching. I've worked in a residential/ school setting for the last three and a half years. I completed my student teaching in the spring of 2012 at Grayslake Central High School and a long term substitution assignment at Lakes Community High School in fall 2013. I will be finishing my Master's Degree in teaching over the summer of 2014. I feel like I can teach the most efficiently in a one-to-one setting. This allows me to tailor instruction to a student's particular needs.

I have a wide variety of educational experience and have recently crossed over into the realm of education as a Special Education/At-Risk teacher with the Edgerton School District. My current position has me utilizing differentiated instruction and modification techniques with nearly 50 students throughout the day which will enhance my ability to tutor others who need help.
