My teaching philosophy revolves around the notion that students need respect, encouragement, and guidance to succeed in all of their academic endeavors. I believe the best way to inspire students is by conveying our own passion for the subject through out attitude of reverence for the written word, our knowledge of literature and writing, and our confidence in our own skills as educators. I believe all students can learn to write well when given a relaxed environment where they can learn to express themselves in their own literary voices. As a college and high school English instructor, I have had the opportunity to teach and tutor students on many different levels. I have worked with those in need of remediation as well as students who are are in honors or advanced placement classes.

As an educator of 15 years, I consider it my responsibility to find interesting ways to enable all students to learn.

It's not just the specific subject you may be studying, but a lifelong desire to learn. I have had the privilege of working with students ranging from Elementary to College, as well as working with teachers in an administrative capacity. The goal in all situations is the same...getting people to enjoy learning! I have developed a system of learning through discovery that enables students to understand how to learn.

It seemed I was always studying for something during the first 25 years of my life. First it was accounting in college followed by the CPA exam and then graduate school at night.

All students can achieve their academic goals if given the appropriate support and instruction that fits their per
