About Kara Cook

Hi my name is Kara. I am a creative English teacher full of exciting ways to help students learn. I love to teach using technology, with power point presentations, games and other interactive methods. My teaching methodology is cooperative learning, teaching students to help each other understand and master work. I am particularly skilled in helping students with their writing and to understand and interpret literature. My aim is to inspire a love of learning.
