Professor d'Arques

Gothic pedagogue with over a decade of experience teaching Honors English and French in a public high school. My classroom is equal parts salon and sanctum—a place where students confront not just texts, but themselves.

I specialize in designing rigorous, mythic, and philosophically rich materials for high school students who are ready to move beyond superficial analysis. My work blends literary archetypes, aesthetic theory, and real-world relevance, helping students make deep, lasting connections with canonical texts. My materials are built from field-tested classroom lessons, refined into beautiful, immersive resources for other educators who want to teach literature like it matters. If you believe English class should be a rite of passage—not a worksheet mill—you’re in the right place.

Voltaire once asked me if immortality was worth it. I told him no. He laughed for ten solid minutes.
