Everything begins with a decision to try and a willingness to begin. So, be okay with beginning!
I teach English classes that focus on writing, reading, and improving your study skills. I enjoy teaching. I've taught for 20+ years as an adjunct instructor and have worked for social service organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters and Citizens Against Domestic and Sexual Abuse. I graduated with a Master of Science degree in Education from Indiana University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Whitman College.
The best way to contact me if you're in one of my classes is to send me an email through Canvas. If you aren't a student yet, you can email me at penny.perka@skagit.edu You can also reach me during the quarter on Wednesday mornings 10-11 a.m. via a Zoom link posted in your Canvas class.
My classes are asynchronous and online. Asynchronous and online means you do not show up for a class at a specific time or on a specific day or in a physical classroom. This doesn't mean you can put off doing classwork or not log in for a week and pass the class.
I look forward to meeting you and learning with you and your classmates. Cordially, Penny
