Teaching Interests
"Use your words." Parents often choose this phrase to encourage verbal expression in younger children. Over time, however, we move beyond merely using our words to express ideas and begin owning our language in order to succeed. My primary objective in teaching English 1010 and English 2010 is to encourage this language ownership and empower students with their communication.
