Experience
I am certified by the state of Missouri to teach secondary English and Speech and Theater. I also have a Master of Arts in Teaching, with an emphasis in Language Arts. I have fifteen years of experience teaching everything from Composition and Literature to Drama and Public Speaking at both the high school and college levels. This summer, I tutored a college senior who graduated but still needed a credit for English that he missed when he'd left school for a bit after his father died. He passed with flying colors! I love teaching and passing on my love of communication and language.

Hobbies
I love reading- right now I'm enjoying historical fiction (and non-fiction) about the past kings and queens of England and France. I also enjoy detective shows, movies, theater, and music. I sing- by myself, obviously, and occasionally with a choir. I have two teenaged sons, both of whom I've taught in class, and, needless to say, they keep me very busy at home.
