For the past 20 years, I have been dedicated to teaching English to learners in grades 6, 8, 9, 10, and 12. My teaching career has taken me all across Texas, from bustling cities to quiet rural areas. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Math, an MBA, and an EdD, all of which have greatly enriched my teaching practices and allowed me to better support my students' learning. In addition to my extensive experience and education, I am also a certified teacher of English Language Arts and Reading (8-12) and English as a Second Language (4-8). I believe that every learner has unique needs, and I strive to create a personalized and inclusive learning experience for all my students. When it comes to online learning, I strive to ensure that it is not only effective but also enjoyable and engaging. Whether it's through gamifying lessons or using humor, I aim to keep my learners actively engaged and motivated. I provide clear structure and goals, along with regular encouragement and feedback, to ensure my students are successful in their online learning journey. When I'm not teaching, you can find me reading, playing board games, or listening to music. These interests also influence my teaching style as I love incorporating storytelling, books, and podcasts into my lessons. I believe that a good story can make any subject come alive and inspire a love for learning in my students. I can't wait to share my passions and help your family achieve their learning goals!
