“My first TPS class was Writer’s Workshop in 6th grade. I proceeded to take four more years of TPS English, among other courses, before attending a rigorous college prep boarding school and then Wheaton College, where I majored in (you guessed it) English. My TPS courses set me up exceptionally well for a successful academic experience by teaching me not merely quality course content, but also independent study skills. Though I never would have guessed it back in 6th grade, it only makes sense that I’ve returned to TPS as an English teacher, passing on those same lessons and skills to the next generation.”
