When I had her she would give lots of quizzes about poems and short stories we had to read at home. They're not worth much and she takes the ones you did best on but just do your reading, it's easy and not very long. The material is easy to understand and insightful and she's the kindest person ever, just pay attention, do your readings, try and you'll do well.

I loved her Intro to English Class. She was so sweet and would sometimes say something funny out of nowhere and the entire class would laugh. At the beginning of the semester, she would assign readings of short stories and then we would be quizzed on it. The quizzes were always multiple choice though. We had to write 2 essays in her class. 500 words and then 750 words both happened IN CLASS. Make sure for the essays you link the rest of your paragraphs to your thesis statement because she's very particular with that. Like she'll remove points from your essay if it doesn't relate to the thesis. I liked her and her class. She was very sweet and approachable and make class entertaining at times.

Had her for Intro to College English, Fall 21. I had an amazing semester with this teacher. She's so kind and energetic, and she's really fun. She's a fairly easy marker, and she makes herself available to help students brainstorming their essays/class work. The workload is low when compared to other classes. If you attend all classes and care a little bit about this class, you can score easily a 85+. Definitly would recommend this teacher.

My class with her was probably the best of my whole semester, I made several friends who I speak to outside of school now because the environment she creates is one where you can meet people and have fun, just don't be disruptive about it. She doesn't get upset or anything she just deserves your respect.

Great English teacher!! I had her online during Winter 2021. She was amazing, she was very empathetic with her students and she explained the course material very thoroughly. Make sure you read the short stories because there will be weekly quizzes. Overall great teacher, I would definitely recommend her
