Professional Profile

I am an English literature and writing instructor passionate about the

written word and the craft of teaching. I offer four years of experience

with students grades K-12 in both public and private school settings. I

have worked with students from a variety of ages and backgrounds via

tutoring companies, supplemental education programs, a district-sponsored

tutoring program (AVID), and various church ministries. I enjoy a good

rapport with students, parents, and colleagues alike. I have a Bachelor of

Arts degree in English from Biola University and perpetual membership in

the university's Torrey Honors Institute. I am currently pursuing my single-

subject teaching credential. Organized, disciplined, and zealous for

student learning, I ardently desire to inspire and instruct students in the

aesthetic, philosophical, and cultural import of language and literature to

prepare them for college and to meet the world as thoughtful and productive

citizens.
