I hold a Master’s in Education with a specialization in TESOL, along with TEFL certification and Department of Defense/English Language Center credentials. My academic background has given me a strong foundation in language acquisition, instructional design, and effective teaching strategies for multilingual learners.

I bring over 30 years of teaching experience across a wide range of settings, including classroom instruction, one‑on‑one tutoring, small‑group lessons, and virtual learning environments. My approach is communicative, student‑centered, and goal‑focused. I specialize in Reading, ESL, Grammar, Speaking, and Writing, and I work with learners preparing for academic and standardized tests such as SAT, TOEFL, and IELTS.

Throughout my career, I’ve taught all ages and proficiency levels, from young learners to adult professionals. I tailor every lesson to each student’s goals, learning style, and pace. My sessions are engaging, structured, and designed to help students build confidence and improve quickly. Whether you’re strengthening foundational skills or preparing for high‑stakes exams, I provide clear guidance, supportive feedback, and a personalized learning plan to help you succeed.

Excellent ESOL teacher

Michael, 109 lessons with Kelly

Highly Recommended!!!

Kelly is highly knowledgeable, patient and flexible tutor who's been helping a number of students in my family. She explains complex concepts in a clear and engaging way. Kelly also has a keen sense of cultural awareness and adopts her teaching style to suite the needs and preferences of different learners. I highly recommend her for your tutorial lessons.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Kelly was very fast on responding to our message and made herself available for our first lesson promptly. Pleasant to work with , knowledgeable and flexible with our schedule we are excited and happy with our choice. For us it was very important to find an in-person teacher, a rare thing these days with pandemic. So we checked that box too. Looking forward to next lessons...:)
