About Me

As an English Language Arts teacher of 18 years, I have learned that students need to feel powerful in order to be successful. Confidence is everything. It is my duty to equip students with resources and techniques that will enable them to become life-long learners and productive citizens. Several of my students were not on level with reading, comprehension, and writing, and so I had to be creative in how I presented information and assessed them. At the same time, many of my students were in advanced classes who needed to be challenged and prepared as they relied on ACT/SAT scores and scholarships for college. It became second nature to differentiate my lessons and teaching in order to accommodate all of my different learners. Some of my successful methods come from my own experiences of being an at-risk student. I shared the steps I took in order to overcome odds and how to set and meet goals. I tutored during evenings and Saturdays. I encouraged students to come in for help during my lunch and planning periods and permitted them to sit in my classes during their study halls, free periods, etc. When students' needs are met, they feel empowered to accept opportunities and ultimately transform their dreams into reality. Every student deserves the right to be heard and taken seriously regardless of his weaknesses or needs. I am excited to help your child reach his educational goals and become more motivated.
