    About Me

    I have been teaching for 11 years, and I am passionate about helping students discover the joy of reading and writing. In our classroom, we will explore a variety of literary genres and contemporary stories and work on honing our writing skills through creative projects and structured essays. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging environment where students feel valued and motivated to do their best.

    • Writing: Learning to write clearly and effectively in various formats.
    • Grammar and Vocabulary: Building a strong foundation in English language conventions.
    • Literature: Exploring diverse authors and genres to broaden our understanding of the world.
