Teacher, reader, and lifelong student of languages

More than fifteen years in the classroom and online.

I hold an MA in Comparative Literature and have taught English, writing, literature, and rhetoric in universities, community colleges, private high schools, and online.

My own experience learning and living with other languages has strongly shaped how I teach. I am interested not only in correctness, but in helping students become more precise, confident, and natural when they speak and write.

Language is connected to everything else.

Literature, classical music, history, travel, education, and cultural life often find their way into lessons and into the journal. That variety is intentional: advanced language develops when there is something meaningful to think and talk about.
