I exhibit exceptional communication skills, both verbal (public speaking) and written, including composing, editing, and revising sundry genres of writing. I adapt and analyze curriculum to meet the needs of all students which includes diverse learning styles and abilities.
As a hardworking individual with high expectations for both myself and others, I am dedicated to providing the best possible services for my students and clients. I firmly believe that true success lies in the relentless pursuit of one's goals, never giving up, and always giving one's best effort.

I am well-versed in the following teaching methods:
Encouraging students to explore additional texts independently
Engaging students in discussions fosters critical thinking
Introducing students to different literary theories
familiarize students with the format and expectations of the AP exams
Utilizing digital resources, online platforms, and multimedia tools
By incorporating these methods, AP English and Literature teachers aim to cultivate critical reading, writing, and analytical skills while fostering a love for literature and a deeper understanding of its cultural and historical contexts.

As a teacher i often employ a combination of styles like:Inquiry-Based Learning,differentiated Instruction,traditional/Lecture-Based, and socratic method. I use these styles based on the content being covered, the goals of the lesson, and the needs of the students.
