I am a certified Washington State English Language Arts teacher with experience teaching all levels of middle and high school English and literature courses. Teaching Shakespeare is one of my personal favorite topics (particularly Hamlet and Othello)! My teaching philosophy centers on individualized instruction. Rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor sessions to meet your student’s learning style and needs. I respond to learning challenges with flexibility, creativity, and positivity. To achieve best results, I engage your student in the learning process, break complex concepts into simpler parts, and target instruction to build specific skills. I’m a Washington State Certified educator with over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all ages.

I have experience in everything from directing to stage management, playwriting to design, build to running sound and lights.

My teaching style is the shrapnel method. I like to use a large variety of techniques - visual, auditory, games, etc - to achieve the same goal. This keeps interest up and allows me to narrow in on the method that is most valuable to a specific student. I taught introductory zoology lab to freshman at Mississippi State University. Then I served in the Peace Corps where I taught daily 13 3 year olds to 15 year olds English, mathematics, and arts and crafts. I also taught basic library skills to all the elementary school classes.

Each tutoring experience should be tailored to the unique learning style of the student in order to ensure that the student gleans the maximum amount of understanding not only from each session but from the tutoring experience as a whole. I conducted my tutoring sessions through dialog, which not only allows me, as the tutor, to properly assess how effective my teaching is for the student but also allows the student to express their learning and take ownership of new information. All students regardless of age or academic level have something to bring to the learning process: an intuitive grasp of subject matter, a creative mind or a unique form of expression; these natural skills must be utilized to further the student’s learning. I worked as a writing tutor at my college, Concordia University, for three of the years that I attended. During that time, I honed my teaching style and studi

I have moved in my own college teaching style from being a "sage on the stage" to a "guide on the side." I am passionate about learning what drives a student's expression of his or her ideas in writing and facilitating that expression. I love working one and one in helping students improve their writing skills. As an Ivy League graduate, I have taught at the college level for over thirty years in French, Romance Languages and Comparative Literature departments (Princeton, Brown, and the University of Washington). I have supervised an expository writing course and trained teaching assistants in the teaching of writing for over twenty years.
