Hi, I’m Kim! I’ve been teaching high school English for 25 years and I love helping students develop their critical reading skills and become strong, confident communicators both in writing and when speaking.
I have a proven track record of creating engaging learning experiences that drive student success. My experience teaching hundreds of students with varying strengths and obstacles has prepared me to work with individual students in establishing a success plan that is uniquely tailored to their needs and goals.
I believe that with the right support and focused instruction, all students have the ability to learn.
My areas of expertise include literary analysis, thesis development, rhetorical analysis and analytical writing. I taught AP Language & Composition and AP Literature & Composition for more than 20 years and helped students not only perform well on their AP exams but also feel prepared to succeed in college. Additionally, I've been coaching students through the college essay process for years and I am highly skilled at navigating the various types of personal statements and supplemental writing samples.
I value developing warm, yet professional relationships with my students. I was nominated as teacher of the year many times and am proud to say that I continue to be a resource for many former students long after they’ve graduated.
I’m hoping my experience and philosophy of teaching appeal to your goals and objectives and we can work together to accomplish them starting as soon as possible.
