I enjoy engaging with students and working with them to introduce, improve, and enhance their language arts skills. Each student provides me with the opportunity to specify my approach according to their unique abilities and learning styles. In regards to my education and teaching experience, I taught English Mechanics and Composition at Westbury Christian high school during the 2010-11 school year. I taught English and Debate at The Harmony School of Ingenuity in 2012. I spent one year as a full-time graduate student in Rice University's Masters in Teaching Program. In the Summer 2014, I earned my English AP certification. I earned a Masters Degree in English in 2016 from the University of Houston. I have two years of full-time teaching experience. I recently moved to Dallas because I am enrolled in the phD in literature program at UT Dallas. I am an approachable and patient person, and I always look forward to meeting new students.

Grammar

I taught high school English Mechanics and Composition during the 2010-2011 school year. The class centered on improving writing skills; consequently, I covered plenty of grammar topics in depth. Last year I attended Rice University's Masters in Teaching program, in which I focused on English for grades 8-12.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I graded many a student paper as a grammar and composition teacher, enabling me to quickly spot errors and suggest solutions. When writing my own papers, I enjoy editing and improving sentences more than any other aspect of the composition process. Additionally, I worked as a proofreader and copy-editor for a Houston publishing firm after graduating from college.

I received an 800 on the verbal/vocabulary portion of my SAT. I have taught high school English classes in which we discussed a new vocabulary word each day. I still love expanding my own vocabulary when I come across obscure words. I am talented in helping students use their vocabulary words the most appropriate context.
