I believe all students deserve to have educators who believe they can excel and accomplish their goals. My job is to help make that happen and to build confidence for moving forward. I hold a bachelor's degree in journalism and a Master's Degree in English Education and Communication, having graduated with a 4.0 and honors. Helping students find their potential and grow as learners is the greatest joy.
I first realized my love for teaching in my marketing career when I helped employees who felt stagnant by guiding them to acquire new skills that led to advancement. When they succeeded, I shared in their joy! I also tutored students and adults in acting (another passion of mine) at my director's request. When teachers and students both told me "You should be a teacher!", I realized helping others grow and teaching them to enjoy learning was my purpose.
For 18 years, I taught English and Journalism for middle school, high school, and college. Students who've told me they can't write become amazing writers. Students who used to dread English class shared that my class was their favorite. I believe everyone is a learner, but we all learn in different ways. Helping a student find their strengths and confidence is the best part of being a teacher. I still hear from former students who share that I played a role in their college and professional success.
My love for writing and literature is contagious, and once a person finds their voice in writing, the rest of the skills follow and become an art. Additionally, enjoying the art of language also removes the fear some may feel with using and understanding vocabulary. When students walk away from my lessons, they feel like learners whose voices and perceptions matter and whose writing reflects that.
I support everyone's journey in learning. I'd be honored to help you on the way. As your tutor, I'll not only help you with your lessons, I'll help you build the confidence you need to move forward on your own.
