I'm Keri! I earned my Bachelor's degree in Communication, and a minor in Sociology. After college, I worked in corporate finance for a Fortune 500 company, but I found I wanted to contribute to my community in a different way. I became determined to dazzle high school students with they how to apply social studies content and critical thinking skills to real-life situations. I earned my California Professional Clear Teaching Credential--Social Studies and transitioned to providing unique, customized lessons and experiences for high school learners.

During my career, I earned a Master's degree in American & New England Studies and an emergency English certificate to teach ELA. I transitioned to online teaching during COVID, and I've found that my dedication to providing student support, assisting with content mastery, and cultivating a love of lifelong learning reaches more students online. Since 2022, I have served students in most US states and Canada. I am pleased to assist learners of all ages and backgrounds.

I transitioned from in-person high school social studies to substitute teaching in grades 1-12, all subjects in 2019, and then moved to online in 2022. I passed the CBEST to earn my California Professional Clear Credential and teach in California. I teach ELA, reading, writing online to students all over the US in both public school districts and private client settings. I am adept at working with individual clients, small groups, and large classes.

Fiction Writing

Fiction Writing

I am a published author. I'm also paid to judge fiction for a major writing magazine. I work with private clients to edit their academic fiction assignments to be turned in for grades as well as edit and revise their fiction to be submitted for publication. I've taught online writing to public school students nationwide and Canada for four years.

I work with school districts and private clients. I specialize in reading, writing, ELA, and social studies for all ages, HS and Praxis test prep, and math for grades 1-3.
Praxis

Praxis

I passed the PRAXIS Social Studies and the CBEST around the same time in the late 1990s to earn my CA Clear Credential. I have been tutoring teachers and teacher candidates to prep for PRAXIS Social Studies and PRAXIS ELA/Reading/Writing since 2022. My clients have been from all over the United States, and I've become familiar with each state's teaching requirements regarding PRAXIS so I not only tutor for the test, but I also operate within any additional unique regional aspects included or added to the assessment. I have also tutored Education PhD candidates for writing, editing, and revising. Outside of providing educational writing and editing services to clients, I am an author with short stories and poems published in literary journals and anthologies. In my writing world, I am edited by fellow writers and other industry-related professionals, and I pass on learned techniques, insights, and updates to accepted practices to my clients.

Great tutor for Teens

Both of my teenage children (14 & 16) are currently taking classes for over two months with Keri, and the feedback from each of them has been overwhelmingly positive. I was specifically looking for someone who could truly engage them—someone who connects well with teens and can elevate their overall proficiency in ELA over summer vacation and prepare them for their school. Keri definitely exceeded my expectations and made is effective and enjoyable for them.
