I believe in hands-on learning and problem-solving to help students grasp concepts effectively. By incorporating literary analysis and effective communication strategies, I focus on enhancing reading comprehension skills.

I provide constructive feedback with personalized comments to highlight strengths and areas for improvement in essays. My approach is designed to enhance your overall communication skills and critical thinking abilities. With the right teaching methods, I can create an enjoyable and productive classroom experience for you where you can learn important academic and social skills to last a lifetime. There are many frameworks that I could use to support you with different interests, abilities and learning styles. I believe that by using the right strategies, I can instill values of respect, empathy and cultural sensitivity into our meetings. I also use teaching methods to prepare you for standardized testing.
