A new school.
A steady place to learn.

Moving mid-year means new assignments and new expectations. I help students figure out where they stand and settle into their new English class.

Jason Klingerman

I'm an English educator who focuses on writing, communication and literary analysis. I help middle and high school students make hard material approachable and develop their own thinking.

We explain, ask questions and practice, with plenty of room to try again and revise.

The goal is to help students understand the work—and become more confident doing it themselves.
