Hi, I'm Ginny Light! I am a certified English teacher and have served secondary (grades 9-12), as well as college-level, students for over a decade. In addition to my regular classes, I teach AP Literature and Composition, University of Connecticut's Early College Experience/First-Year Writing, and ACT/SAT prep. Further, I help rising seniors with Common Application essays and supplements. I love when my students tell me how much they have learned or that they've gotten into their first-choice schools!
