Meet the Course Creator,
Ali Dareneau
As an English teacher with dual degrees in Psychology and English Education, I enjoy helping students reach their potential, especially when it comes to English Language Arts. With over 16 years of classroom experience and working with education-based companies, I bring creativity and enthusiasm to the classroom and beyond. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology in 2007 and completed my Masters's degree in English Education in 2013 which have both shaped me into the passionate educator I am today. My professional experience as an English teacher, curriculum designer, and writer demonstrates my passion for reading and writing and solidifies my belief that all students can strengthen their reading and writing skills no matter what level they begin their journey.
