🫶 Love of Learning

I’m genuinely passionate about language. Words fascinate me—how they’re used, how they connect ideas, and how they bring stories to life. That passion has followed me through teaching, my work with AI, and curriculum design, where language, creativity, and careful evaluation all play an important role.

​​

Today, much of my own learning continues through teaching, but also through developing Language Arts AI. I start with strong, proven approaches to reading and writing and draw on my own teaching experience, then ask myself how I can take them further—developing original material and finding fresh ways to make learning more engaging, fun, and meaningful. I love refining ideas until they are clear, purposeful, and effective.​

🫶 Love of Learners

I find that every learner is unique in their own way and can benefit from personalized support. That’s why I love helping students discover their writing voice and build confidence in what they can do. I adapt my teaching to each learner’s needs, skills, and personality, using different materials and approaches to help them connect with learning. Parents appreciate my patience, attention to detail, and genuine care for their children’s progress. Students love my sense of humor and creativity—and that I take an interest in who they are and what matters to them.

In my classes, students analyze texts in depth and apply what they learn right away through practical writing. I use Socratic questioning, encouraging them to find the answer themselves and explain how they arrived there. I also tend to work alongside them during class, which they love! Through careful observation and detailed feedback, I aim to build stronger language skills while strengthening confidence in their own ideas, abilities, and who they’re becoming.

🫶 Love of Bringing the first two Loves together

Every student’s success—big or small—brings me genuine joy. Teaching isn’t just what I do; it’s part of who I am. I’m constantly growing as an educator so I can support each student in their own unique way. Bringing my love of learning and my love of learners together is what makes teaching so meaningful to me, and I hope to continue doing so for a long time.
