I am passionate about fostering communication skills in my students, as I believe that the ability to express thoughts and feelings is fundamental to human connection. With over 32 years of teaching experience, including middle school, high school, and college levels, I specialize in English Composition, Literature, and Spanish. My educational background includes a Master's in Educational Leadership from Middle Tennessee State University, which has equipped me with effective teaching methodologies tailored to diverse learning styles. I thrive on creating engaging, interactive lessons that incorporate technology, games, and collaborative activities, ensuring that each student feels empowered and motivated to learn. Whether I'm guiding a seventh grader through essay writing or helping a high school student grasp complex Spanish grammatical concepts, my goal is to build confidence and proficiency in their communication abilities. I find immense joy in watching students grow and succeed, and I am dedicated to providing a supportive and dynamic learning environment.
