I have been an AP Literature and Composition teacher as well as Twelfth grade Language Arts instructor for over 16 years. I am acutely aware of the needs of students as it relates to mastering reading and writing skills. I have also taught an ACT Prep course for the past 5 years after extensive training at workshops and conferences.

I differentiate my instruction both in the classroom and individually to work at all writing and reading levels so that maximum benefit is achieved by th
