Hobbies
My life has revolved around my love for writing and literature. I can make writing fun and inspire someone who is struggling . I grew up with dyslexia and know what it's like to feel that writing is a daunting task. I believe writing is an important tool for kids and teenagers to learn not only for tests but for life. I've scored very well in the writing section of all the standardized tests I've taken. I know how to motivate kids to write and help them over hurdles. If this is a difficult area for them my enthusiasm, warmth and teaching ability could help them develop skills they might not have known they had!
