Hello! I’m Kelly, and I’d love to help you tackle math and Microsoft Excel assignments, test prep, and more. With the right support, enough time, and willingness to practice foundations, I wholeheartedly believe that anyone can succeed in math!
My favorite subjects to tutor are pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and Excel. I recently earned Microsoft Excel certifications at both the Associate and Expert levels, and I’m also IXL certified!

I first started at the tutoring center on my university’s campus where I peer-tutored while earning my B.A. in Mathematics. Within a year I became a grader for a couple of my professors’ other classes and was trusted to grade math tests & hw assignments with accuracy. These jobs led to a supervising role at another learning center on campus and shortly after I began private tutoring.
After graduating, I taught prep courses such as GED math & pre-college algebra at a local state college as an adjunct instructor for about 6 years. For the following 7 years, I ventured into the corporate world of spreadsheets, formulas, and project management.
When the pandemic hit, my day job transitioned to a WFH position, so I started tutoring at a local private academy. I witnessed firsthand the negative impacts Covid-19 had on students and wanted to help rebuild their foundations.

Today, I look forward to seeing more moments of clarity, pride, and relief on student faces. My goal is to connect the material a student needs to learn with what they already understand, while encouraging independent thinking. I also emphasize the importance of emotional intelligence and setting realistic goals.

Knowledgeable and patient!

We were looking for a math tutor for our 7th grader, came across Kelly’s impressive bio/resume. During the first lesson she was able to jump right in and help our child better understand a current assignment, and is already developing a plan to work on our ultimate goal: standardized testing in the spring. Definitely going to set up more sessions!

Very Helpful

My daughter was behind in math and didn't understand the concepts that were being taught in her class. Kelly was very helpful and got her caught up. She is now on track and feeling confident. They covered a lot of material in their time together.

Kelly was outstanding in providing Evan with the support he needed during COVID related remote learning. We give our highest recommendation if you are looking for a Algebra 2 tutor.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

She has very instrumental in my son passing his college prep math class this year. Without her help, I am not sure that my son would not have passed his class. I hope that she will be help him with his college math next school year!! I hope she has a great summer!!

knowledgeable, patient and engaging

Kelly is so patient and tremendously effective in her methods to teach. She has inspired a confidence in a subject that my daughter has struggled for a long time. Wish I would have found her sooner. She is an amazing tutor. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to increase their knowledge and confidence in math. My daughter loves working with her.

Making Math Human.

I like her tutoring method because she makes a grocery shopping list of tedious math problems and breaks them down into physical comprehensive bits as opposed to a foreign entity from Jupiter. She also teaches like a human being and not a shoddy artificial intelligence. If anyone feels estranged from math and is in need of a guide, I cannot think of a better place to look.
