My name is Linda Cleary, and I hold a J.D. from Wayne State University Law School, along with a dual Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Women's and Gender Studies from the University of Michigan - Dearborn. With over four years of teaching experience in English Language Arts and Law at a local high school, I am passionate about fostering a dynamic learning environment that encourages critical thinking and effective communication. I specialize in teaching high school English, including AP Literature and various social studies subjects, while also running SAT Bootcamp sessions for students preparing for standardized tests. My teaching philosophy centers on interactive lessons and ongoing formative assessments, allowing me to adapt my instruction to meet individual student needs. I thrive on the moments when students experience breakthroughs in their understanding, and I aim to create a classroom atmosphere where every voice is valued. My diverse background, including work in traumatic brain injury case management, equips me with a unique perspective on the varied challenges students face. I am dedicated to helping each student set and achieve their academic goals, ensuring they are prepared for future challenges.
