About Me

Hi! I'm Shane Stanton, a middle school English Language Arts teacher based in Austin, Texas. Originally from Morristown, New Jersey, I have two years of classroom teaching experience helping students grow as readers, writers, and critical thinkers. I recently earned my Master of Education from University of Notre Dame, where I also completed my undergraduate studies in English and Economics. I specialize in supporting students in middle school and high school ELA, including reading comprehension, literary analysis, grammar, essay writing, and academic writing skills. I also enjoy helping students craft strong college application essays that reflect their voice and experiences. My teaching style focuses on building confidence, creating clear strategies for success, and making learning engaging and approachable. I strive to meet students where they are, challenge them to grow, and help them feel more confident in their abilities both inside and outside the classroom.
