Experience

I have 20 years of experience teaching English in grades 6–12, including 7 years of gifted middle school ELA, AP Language, AP Literature, and Cambridge AICE English Language (AS Level). I created Brain Bar to publish the kind of classroom-ready resources I actually use with my own students; materials that are rigorous, well-designed, and built around real instructional goals.

Teaching style

I believe students learn best when they feel challenged and supported at the same time. My resources reflect that: they're structured enough to guide students through complex skills, but open enough to spark genuine thinking and discussion. Whether it's a passage-based worksheet, a lesson PowerPoint, or a review game, everything I create is designed to be both teacher-friendly and student-engaging.
