I have spent the past four years after graduating from University of Virginia (with a BA in Psychology) devoting my time to students. I have a Masters of Education in English and during the year I teach 9th graders reading and writing skills. On the weekends I have served as a writing specialist for seniors applying to college and during the summers I have worked as a writing and grammar instructor for 11th graders preparing to take the SATs. I am deeply knowledgeable on all things English, ranging from grammar and sentence structure to literary elements or shakespeare. I love helping students find strategies to master clarity of ideas and finding a persuasive, compelling voice. I am looking forward to working with you!
