Hi there! Nice to meet you!
My name is Mrs. Tinker, and I am so excited to teach sixth, seventh, and eighth grade ELA at Merritt Academy.
I was raised in the hills of rural Pennsylvania. After completing my bachelors degree in English Education at Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, I moved to Michigan where I taught middle school and high school English at a private school for two years.
