About Me

Teaching is my passion. I was fortunate enough to discover this upon graduating from college, and every job I have had since involves teaching of some kind. I always wanted to be an English teacher, and I realized my dream in 2006. Since then, I have come to find that my favorite type of work is helping students achieve a level of reading comprehension that helps them not only understand critical passages, but also real-world materials. I think in English classes, we assume that students do always get the main idea, but as I keep teaching, I realize that reading critically is a skill we must work on. I am constantly sharpening my skills in helping students become better readers, and I am excited about the prospects of working with new students, as they help me learn even more about my teaching.

Q&A with Jennifer

My teaching philosophy is that I want to teach students to be successful for not just the immediate project/task, but for future skills as well. SAT/ACT prep is not just strategies, but learning about the main idea of the passage and how it is supported with evidence. This knowledge is vital for future success in all subject areas.
