I am a 14-year education veteran with experience teaching AP Language & Composition, Dual Credit English III, and both Advanced and On-Level English I & II. I specialize in helping students strengthen their reading, writing, and critical thinking skills while building confidence.
A key focus of my tutoring is STAAR preparation, especially the Extended Constructed Response (ECR). I help students craft strong thesis statements, select meaningful evidence, and develop clear, effective commentary. My step-by-step approach simplifies complex writing skills and helps students improve organization, structure, and line of reasoning—skills essential for success on STAAR and beyond.
I believe every student can grow with the right support and expectations. I tailor each session to meet individual needs, whether students need intervention or enrichment.
I am married to Dr. Joy and am a proud parent of two children entering college, so I value education both professionally and personally.
I love English and enjoy helping students connect with reading and writing. My favorite authors include Stephen King, James Patterson, and James Baldwin.
I would be honored to support your student’s academic success.
