With a specialization in English Grammar from Ithaca College, my passion lies in unraveling the intricacies of language. I strive to foster a deeper understanding of grammar, empowering students to communicate effectively and confidently. Drawing from my academic background and teaching experience, I create engaging lessons tailored to individual learning styles. Whether unraveling the nuances of syntax or clarifying punctuation rules, I'm dedicated to guiding students towards mastery. Let's embark on this linguistic journey together, where every question is an opportunity for growth and discovery.
