Passionate Educator: I have a deep love for teaching and helping students discover the beauty and power of language and literature

Over 15 Years of Teaching Experience: I have been teaching high school English for more than a decade, working with students from diverse backgrounds and varying skill levels. Curriculum Development: I have designed and implemented comprehensive curriculums that align with state standards and promote critical thinking and creativity. Advanced Placement (AP) Instruction: I have experience teaching AP English Literature and Composition, helping students prepare for and excel in their AP exams. Professional Development: I regularly participate in professional development workshops and conferences to stay current with the latest educational trends and methodologies. Student-Centered Learning: I excel in creating engaging and inclusive learning environments where all students feel valued and motivated to participate. Teaching Approach: Interactive Lessons: I believe that active engagement is key to learning. My classes often involve discussions, group activities, and hands-on projects that encourage students to explore and analyse texts deeply. Differentiated Instruction: Recognising that every student learns differently, I tailor my teaching strategies to meet individual needs. This may include providing additional resources, offering one-on-one support, or adapting assignments. Use of Technology: I integrate technology into my lessons to enhance learning. This includes using online resources, interactive whiteboards, and educational software to make lessons more dynamic and accessible. Real-World Connections: I strive to connect classroom learning to real-world contexts. By relating literature and writing to current events, personal experiences, and societal issues, I make the content more relevant and engaging for students. Feedback and Assessment: Regular feedback is crucial for student growth. I provide timely and constructive feedback on assignments and assessments, helping students understand their strengths and areas for improvement. Encouraging Critical Thinking: My lessons are designed to promote critical thinking and analytical skills. Through close reading, textual analysis, and argumentative writing, students learn to form and defend their ideas effectively.
