Writing with Susan S.

My name is Susan Scovil, and I can't wait to meet you! I recently retired from teaching after 27 years in the public schools. I taught high school Drama, Literature, and Writing, and I loved helping my students improve their skills and gain confidence. I went to the University of Oregon, Portland State University and Central Washington University, earning a degree in English and certification to teach grades 5-12 in English, Theater and Reading. Over the years, I taught all high school levels of English classes. Part of those years I also taught remedial reading and college prep reading. For 16 years, I built a Drama program from the ground up, eventually teaching three levels of Theater classes as well as directing the plays in our extra curricular program. All told, I directed over 35 plays working with hundreds of students. For many years, in my spare time, I have been an avid beader. I make jewelry of various styles with beads and with shrink plastic. Since retiring, I find I have missed collaborating with students, and I would love the opportunity to continue through tutoring.
