Managing 5 separate classes including College Prep, Honors, and Advanced Placement courses, I had a considerable amount of experience proofreading and editing more than 500 papers as I trained students in effective use of persuasive language and creativity. Aside from larger writing assignments, I led practical application exercises in which I coached students in different styles, voice, and tactics for essay writing. I provided instruction on parts of speech, grammar usage, and research techniques encompassing processes and documentation of sources.To enhance communications with students and parents, I developed and managed a teacher webpage, creating all copy, content, graphics, and design.

Using A Beka and Bob Jones curricula, I educated approximately 150 students in grammar, vocabulary, spelling, writing, and reading. My goal was to teach my 6 classes in such a way as to prepare my students for their advancement into high school.Partnering with English department staff, I co-developed a comprehensive teaching strategy in order to prevent student shortfalls during the year and make sure the students were ready for the next grade. With the other English teachers, I helped to set milestones, goals, and objectives for teachers of rising middle school and high school students.I proofread as many as 50 essays each month, giving feedback that I knew would lead to improvement in the quality of the writing that students submitted to me. I often spent time with students after school, offering mentorship and other instruction. In doing so, I helped one student make revisions in her essay that enabled her to secure a scholarship of more than $60,500 to a private high school with her award-winning essay. Additionally, during classroom instruction of all units, I applied varying techniques in my instructional presentation using theories of Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences to appeal to and captivate each student’s attention. I performed a number of public relation initiatives, including attendance of school functions, meetings, concerts, sporting events, and meet-and-greet sessions with parents. I also organized a girls’ Christmas crafting day for 60 students. With such a tight schedule for organizing events, managing student writing projects, grading papers, and developing lesson plans, I used RenWeb management software to track progress and complete projects on time.
