About Kelly


Bio

I love to help students understand tough topics in US History and Government whether it be at an regular, honors, Advanced Placement, or International Baccalaureate level. I also love helping students feel more confident to demonstrate their understanding on high stakes tests such as the End of Course Exam in Florida, or the AP, or IB Exams.
I have 20 years experience in teaching and tutoring. I adore getting to work with students 1:1, as it really allows for more ability to tailor lessons...

I have 20 years experience in teaching and tutoring. I adore getting to work with students 1:1, as it really allows for more ability to tailor lessons to assist with each students specific needs. I also believe that any tutoring needs to include skills development as well as content development in order for students to truly be successful.

I have years of experience in US History 1491 to present, as well as years of experience teaching US Government, Global Politics, and Comparative Politics.

If you want a tutor with nearly two decades worth of teaching and tutoring experience who can be flexible and design tutoring to meet your specific needs, I am the person for you.

Extremely knowledgeable

My daughter very satisfied with the lessons with Kelly. She is very informative and patient. She is very good at explaining the topics in detail. I would highly recommend Kelly.

Winnie, 7 lessons with Kelly

Helpful, clear and so nice

Our daughter loved working with Kelly! Clear communicator, warm and no nonsense. They got to work and made a ton of progress in every session. Highly recommend!

Janet, 6 lessons with Kelly

Knowledgeable and responsive tutor.

My son had three sessions with Kelly to prepare for his APUSH exam. He had been doing practice tests at home but had no way of assessing the quality of his own writing (DBQ, Long essay etc). Kelly was happy to review his writing samples and provide constructive feedback. She also shared a lot of useful information and tips to maximize scores and my son thought she was a really good tutor. He felt these sessions with Kelly really benefitted him and he is now feeling quite at ease about taking the exam later this week. Another thing to note is that Kelly is very responsive...quick to reply and she kept us updated about her availability for additional sessions, which we appreciated very much!

My Son got an "A" thanks to Kelly!

My son was struggling to develop an approach to studying for his Honors US History quizzes and tests. Kelly asked questions to identify specific challenges he was having when taking tests/quizzes, reviewed the chapter material while highlighting key information, and equipped him with a study plan for his next big test. She also explained sections of the chapter in a way that my son found interesting and easy to grasp. He just got his test score back - he got a 95% (first A in a History test as a high schooler), and he got the highest grade in his class! 😊 So grateful to Kelly for preparing him well. He'll continue meeting with Kelly through the rest of the year.

Understandable, Pushed me out the comfort zone

She helped review the terms i wasn’t confident with and gave some websites to study on. I really appreciate her time for scheduling me in late and fitting me in her schedule.

Cindy, 1 lesson with Kelly

Knowledgeable and great

Super helpful. Recommended 100 percent. I am very thankful. Her ability to break down complex concepts into manageable pieces, combined with their patient and encouraging approach, has significantly improved my kids understanding

IB DP Global Politics

Kelly is excellent. She responds very quickly and reviewed a draft prior to the session. We had a very focused session on some open questions. I got the sense that she really understands the rubric for the assessment and was helpful in maximizing points for the IA. She was really helpful on thinking through word count and how long each section should be. I recommend her for IB Global Politics.

Great First Session

My son was struggling to develop an approach to studying for his Honors US History quizzes and tests. Kelly asked questions to identify specific challenges he was having when taking tests/quizzes, reviewed the chapter material while highlighting key information, and equipped him with a study plan for his next quiz. She also explained sections of the chapter in a way that my son found interesting and easy to grasp. We’re hopeful that regular sessions with Kelly will help my son boost his scores and interest in the subject!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Kelly taught AP govt and politics to my daughter. Kelly is an awesome tutor. We are so glad that we found her. My daughter had no confidence during Kelly's first class but by the last class she felt so comfortable and confident. She is much better position in the subject. She liked Kelly teaching, explaining the concept thoroughly and encouraging the student.
