“Ms. Newman’s English classes were nothing short of phenomenal, and I was blessed to be her student for two years. It was in her classes where I began to develop my personal style of writing and tone. Through her lessons, I was able to expand my scope of English, finding a newfound appreciation for various types of literature and prose. Ms. Newman helped me become a stronger writer, allowing me to become more confident in my work through her nurturing and attentive assistance. Her constant encouragement and guidance aided in my abilities to critique, offer different perspectives, and make my writing stand out against others. I was never fond of English classes before having the opportunity to be her student, however, she sparked a new interest. Challenging her students was a breath of fresh air and highlighted my qualities in writing.

Her ability to teach English literature and structure in such an exceptional manner aided in my abilities of learning other languages! She is incredibly skillful, well rounded, and passionate about what she does! My experience with Ms. Newman has been beneficial in all aspects of my life, even outside of traditional academia. Though I graduated high school years ago, I have benefited from all that she has taught me. There is a noticeable difference between my writing before and after her classes. Her impact has made it easier for me to succeed in university level writing courses across all subjects. I attribute my growth in writing to her patience and passion, and would strongly recommend her help to others who seek to strengthen their English and writing skills!”
