Teaching Philosophy:
I believe that learning English is not just about mastering grammar and vocabulary, but about exploring and expressing ideas. My teaching approach focuses on fostering a deep appreciation for literature while developing critical thinking and effective communication skills. I strive to create a classroom environment where students feel encouraged to engage in meaningful discussions and to develop their unique voices through writing.

Professional Experience:
With 2 years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of guiding students through various aspects of English literature and composition. My specializations include AP English Language and Composition and creative writing. I am passionate about integrating contemporary texts and diverse perspectives into my curriculum to make learning more relevant and engaging for students.

Classroom Environment:
My classroom is a dynamic space designed to foster creativity and collaboration. With a library of diverse texts, interactive whiteboards, and a variety of multimedia resources, I aim to make learning both engaging and effective. I believe in creating a supportive atmosphere where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and taking intellectual risks.
