Learn With Emerson
About
Hi, I'm Ms. Emerson! I have taught 9th Grade English for 6+ years at the best schools in Austin: IDEA Rundberg College Prepatory (ranked #3 by U.S. News) and McCallum High School (ranked #16 by U.S. News). My main objective has been to help students feel prepared for the English 1 STAAR. I have mastered how to strengthen students' reading stamina, their problem solving when approaching multiple choice questions, their understanding of grammar, and their ability to outline, write, and revise a strong 4-5 paragraph essay. These skills are necessary for them to succeed throughout their high school careers.
My favorite part of being a teacher is getting to talk with students about their feelings, what their opinions are, and why they have these thoughts. While I'm transitioning towards becoming a therapist, I have ample time to support students 1-on-1 with these skills that I have become an expert on during my teaching career. I really look forward to working with students to help them feel more confident navigating the complexities of high school!
