Hi there! I'm Shamon, a highly experienced educator with a Bachelor of Science degree from NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. During my studies in English Education and throughout my career, I've cultivated a passion for empowering students to excel in English language arts across diverse age groups and learning environments.

I've honed my skills in fostering a love for literature and effective communication in young learners, having instructed middle school writing classes and guided students through developing their writing abilities. I've empowered high school students to master literary analysis, critical thinking, and essay writing, preparing them for academic success in college and beyond. As a teaching assistant at the collegiate level, I've facilitated engaging discussions, provided constructive feedback on student work, and supported professors in creating a dynamic learning environment.

I leverage strategic and tailored instruction techniques to ensure each student receives the support they need to thrive. This includes employing effective scaffolding methods to empower independent learning and mastery of key concepts. I possess a strong ability to navigate diverse learning environments, having successfully conducted virtual small and large group classes. My engaging and effective instruction techniques captivate students and promote a culture of learning.
