About
I have been teaching literature for 11 years. I received a BA in Literature in 2010 from the University of Oklahoma. I have extensive background in British Literature which was enhanced by my minor in History. I am available weekday evenings, and throughout the day on the weekends.
I love to read new stories and help students find their voice in writing. I find that students become empowered when they learn how to dicipher texts and become accomplished at being able to express themselves through text.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I need to know their background in education. I also need to know the type of teacher they work with in school. Depending on what the student is needing help with I may have to have them do a diagnostic to see what they need to focus on.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in English Literature with a Minor in History. I have been teaching Literature for 11 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Each session is $25, and sessions run for 1 hour.
How did you get started teaching?
I come from a family focused on education. My mother is an elementary school librarian, and my father is a corporate trainer. My grandfather taught computer science and engineering in the Air Force, and my grandmother was a Sunday School teacher. I guess you could say that it's in my blood. I began teaching by substituting to decide which grade levels I would focus on, and landed on high school.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of students including English Language Learners, low income students, high income students, and all ages.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for someone who you mesh with. If you enjoy random bits of knowledge, or cheesy references from the 80s and 90s then I'm your person. If you want someone who is extremely straight, and doesn't like to have fun then I'm probably not the person for you.
