English is one of my top subjects! Graduated 1998, BA English Lit/Minor Theater, New York University. I feel very comfortable teaching any English related subject ranging from Composition, Creative Writing, Grammar, Vocabulary, Poetry, Literature, Language Arts, Phonetics and reading and writing help. All levels K-University level.
My teaching style is eclectic. My background as a yoga instructor and massage therapist inform my teaching style in that I teach the student as a whole rather than teaching a subject to a student. I like to use current outside sources whether they be from science or art so that learning stays relevant to today.
