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.

I am lucky to have experience teaching in multiple academic settings, which helps make me the well-rounded, enthusiastic educator I am today. For the last three years I have taught English at the high school level and am currently an AP-certified instructor.

At a private tutoring firm I conducted a homework club and tutored one-on-one, with significant improvements in SAT verbal and essay scores.

I am a patient, professional teacher who will find a way to help any student with a combination of planning and the ability to adapt to a young person's needs. I believe that it is important to focus on engaging the student and finding ways to help them connect their lessons to their own lives. Motivation is incredibly important, especially for a student who may be struggling. They often need to know how information applies to them. They also need to know that they can succeed if they are willing to put in the work and try new approaches. I am a former professional journalist who decided to return to the classroom to share what I have learned. I was an honor student at every level, graduating from the University of Pittsburgh Magna Cum Laude in 1994 with a major in Communications and Rhetoric.

I have developed a system of learning through discovery that enables students to understand how to learn. This provides them with the opportunity to utilize these strategies no matter where life will take them. Some of these strategies may include live event learning, research based learning, technology enhanced learning, in addition to simple strategies such as comprehension, recall and differentiated learning. As an educator of 15 years, I consider it my responsibility to find interesting ways to enable all students to learn. No matter what the subject, there is always a way to entice a student to want to learn. The goal, from my perspective is to get students to be interested in learning. 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

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. I always enjoyed being a student and took advanced math classes including calculus with analytic geometry I & II. I am an avid reader and believe the book is always better than the movie!! I love teaching and working with children of all ages. I believe in a constructivist learning theory which suggests that learning is more effective when a student is actively engaged in the learning process rather than attempting to receive knowledge passively. It is a guided discovery where I will lead my student through questions and activities to discover, discuss, appreciate and verbalize the new knowledge. All students can achieve their academic goals if given the appropriate support and instruction that fits their per
