I began teaching in 2016 and opened my TpT store in 2017. I have taught 9th grade English, 11th grade English, 12th grade English, Creative Writing and Newspaper. I also have experience in tutoring, newspaper editing and customer service.
I have high expectations for my students and help them to be their best selves. I like to "guide by the side" and help students invest in their learning with my prompting, scaffolding and support. I enjoy helping high schoolers and teachers by making handouts and lessons clear, informative and interesting.

My name is Danielle Blumhardt and I have 2 cats named Scooter and Ghost. My favorite hobbies are reading, hiking, and enjoying a great cup of coffee. Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite American poet and is the inspiration for my TpT store's name. My favorite books are "A Tale for the Time Being" by Ruth Ozeki and "The Once and Future Witches" by Alix E. Harrow. Follow my teacher Instagram! @thepoeenglishteacher
