Enjoy learning! Language arts, Theatre, Speech, Grades 7 & Above

My teaching philosophy is to provide my students with the tools to enjoy the learning process.
I have 25 years teaching experience in both public and private schools; I have a Teaching Credential in English with the Emphasis in Drama, and have successfully taught Drama, Directing, Creative Writing, English, and Shakespeare. My lessons are adapted for the individual student. Each of us has a unique way of learning and retaining material. I can help you develop that learning process.

My background in theatre and speech, as well as language arts and creative writing, allows me to use a wide range of teaching techniques. Do you want to learn how to feel comfortable speaking convincingly in front of a group? Or, do you need help in audition preparation, or understand Shakespeare? I'm your teacher.

Do you need help with writing exceptional college essays or want to learn how to write the perfect paragraph? I will provide you with the tools your need to be successful.
