I have been teaching since 2019, with all but the first year being at Madison Middle School. I graduated from Grand Canyon University where my focus was Secondary Education and English Language Arts. I am one of the two 7th grade ELA and Honors ELA teachers at Madison. As of 2023, I am also privileged to teach one block of art for 7th and 8th graders. I have two daughters, one son, and one future son-in-law. I also have two Miniature Schnauzers and a German Shepherd. They think they are the boss at home....sometimes they are right. To the surprise of my students, I am an avid gamer and spend most of my down time gaming. In addition to gaming, I enjoy reading, painting, traveling to the beach as much as possible, and hanging out with my family. My classroom website is tgingrich-english.weebly.com. This is a great place to find out what whe are working on in class, assignment due dates, classroom expectations, and other important information. My tutoring times are Tuesdays and Thursdays after school from 3:40 pm to 4:30 pm. I also offer morning tutoring by appointment only every day except Tuesdays. The best way to get in touch with me is via Remind, but feel free to send an email or call during my conference time (9:15 am to 10:00 am) with any questions, comments, or concerns.
