"Dear Future Students,

As a passionate educator with over 30 years of experience, I am excited to support your learning journey in English and literacy. My extensive background includes teaching every grade level, from young learners to adults and master's degree students, which has given me the insight to adapt to each student's unique needs. Holding a Literacy Credential, Single Subject English Credential, Multiple Subject Credential, and an Educational Administration Credential, I combine academic rigor with a personalized approach. This means that I not only understand the educational standards you need to meet but also tailor my methods to suit your learning style, making your path to success smoother and more engaging.

As a published author and a trainer of trainers for writing, I have cultivated innovative strategies that focus on building not just skills but confidence. My work as a professor at the University of Phoenix further enriched my ability to communicate complex ideas in an accessible way. Whether you need help with writing, comprehension, or preparing for standardized tests, my goal is to empower you to excel beyond the classroom. What sets me apart is my deep commitment to fostering a growth mindset, encouraging you to view challenges as opportunities to grow. Together, we’ll build the tools you need to succeed academically and beyond." less...
