About Kelly

Bio

I am in my 12th year as a High School Math teacher. I have taught Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, AP Statistics, Intro to Programming and AP Computer Science. (A and Principles) I started tutoring math when I was in High School and have tutored in the Greater Boston Area for the past 12 years in all range of subjects in middle school and high school. I currently teach AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles and a C/C++ course on Pointers and Data Structures.

I love teaching...

I love teaching and could not imagine myself doing anything else! I love finding new ways to explain material to help all students understand

I love math, and I use my passion for math to help others understand math. I can come up with examples of most types of problems on the spot to create more practice on a topic a student is struggling with. Through my teaching and tutoring I have learned many ways to explain a problem and can find the best way to explain a concept to a student.
Computer Science used to be a hobby but through happenstance I ended up starting to teach Computer Science and I love it! Computer Science can be tricky to master as it does involve a lot trial and error and being left to explore, which can be scary. I am happy to help guide you in understanding and be there to help you through your explorations

I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

Knowledgable and Patient

Kelly is helping my son review for the Comp. Sci AP exam. He took the class last year, but decided to take the AP exam this year so he needs a lot of review. My son said she has been helpful and explains things he does not remember. He enjoys working with her.

Andrea , 5 lessons with Kelly

Knowledgeable APCS Tutor

We just started with Kelly. She is very good and is knowledgeable about the AP CS exam which is very helpful. She went over the key concepts and suggest things for my son to study for the exam. We will continue with Kelly for more sessions.

Daniel, 2 lessons with Kelly

Outstanding Statistics Tutor

Kelly taught me new methods to handle my Statistics problems. She helped me reinforce my existing calculation methods by providing hints and tips and provided me new ways to looking at a problem. We worked through problems sets to get the hang of Statistics.
