Teaching is not just a profession for me; it is a calling fueled by my desire to inspire and empower students to reach their fullest potential. With over 25 years of experience in education and a Master's degree in English from Wright State University, I specialize in Academic Coaching, AP English Language and Literature, K-5 Reading, and ESL instruction. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment that encourages critical thinking and creativity. I am passionate about helping students navigate their academic journeys, whether it's through honing their writing skills or preparing for advanced coursework. As a published writer and reading intervention specialist, I bring both practical experience and a deep appreciation for the English language to my tutoring sessions, aiming to ignite a love for learning in each student I work with.
