I am a native of South Carolina and graduated from a private school for girls and then went on to obtain my Bachelor's degree in English in 1991 from Duke University, I studied Latin and Greek and Creative Writing, I am a published author on Amazon and Ebay and in my school and local libraries. I first published a poem at 11 years old. I took AP English in high school and started college courses with my peers at twelve during the summers. I love teaching elementary reading and writing but also can help with essays and fiction writing, I have a teacher-directed philosophy in which the teacher leads with input, suggestions and feedback from the student, We are to meet our goals hand-in-hand while working together,
