I am an Ivy League-educated 7th grade English Language Arts teacher in the highest performing charter school network in the District of Columbia. As a full-time English teacher, I have also taught grades 6, 8, 9, and 12. As a graduate student, I was trained as a reading specialist for lower-elementary students in grades K-3. Recently, I taught strategies for the SAT Reading and Writing sections and I supported college essay drafting and revising for students in Northern Virginia. In addition, I was previously a Sylvan Learning Center Tutor and I have also been a pre-school teacher through Jumpstart for Young Children. In high school, I received college credit for passing scored in the following courses: AP Language and Composition, AP Literature and Composition, AP United States History, SAT II Literature Subject Test. I have also attended numerous professional development courses as an educator.
