Expertise
I have been teaching 9-12th grade English for the last 10 years. I have taught electives such as Poetry, Drama, and even Intro to Spanish. I have taught texts such as To Kill A Mockingbird, Night, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet. I teach my students how to write research papers, thesis papers, and strong paragraphs using elevated vocabulary and language. I absolutely love teaching!
