My expertise is Shakespeare and Milton, and I am fond of James Joyce.  I am currently co-teaching AP English Literature at Liberty High School.  I have previously taught middle school English based on a classical curriculum and academic writing in high school and college. 

My teaching philosophy incorporates a student-driven classroom environment with a Socratic approach to questions and discussion.  I want to prepare students to excel at the collegiate level by improving their academic writing, primarily through peer editing and incorporating feedback on future drafts. 

I enjoy playing chess, learning languages, and mountaineering when not teaching.
