As a passionate educator with a Bachelor's in English Education from the University of Indianapolis, I have over five years of experience teaching middle and high school English, specializing in reading comprehension and creative writing. I find immense joy in witnessing the "ah-ha" moments when students grasp new concepts, and I strive to make learning engaging and relevant by connecting lessons to their personal interests. My approach includes tailoring lessons to meet individual needs, using strategies like visual aids and interactive discussions to enhance comprehension and writing skills. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where students can express themselves and develop a love for learning. My experience teaching both on-level and accelerated classes, along with my commitment to professional development, empowers me to inspire students from diverse backgrounds. I am excited to continue this journey of growth with new learners, helping them discover their potential while navigating the challenges of English language arts.
