About Kelly


Bio

Our time together will be framed with these basic tenets: Who are you? Who do you want to be? And how can we get you there? My effective classroom teaching experience has given me a wealth of knowledge and skills that I can share with students and families who are looking for extra help with learning and academic development. Covid 19 had made it difficult for me to teach traditionally in a classroom, so I am branching out and trying something new by teaching safely at a distance with you!...

Our time together will be framed with these basic tenets: Who are you? Who do you want to be? And how can we get you there? My effective classroom teaching experience has given me a wealth of knowledge and skills that I can share with students and families who are looking for extra help with learning and academic development. Covid 19 had made it difficult for me to teach traditionally in a classroom, so I am branching out and trying something new by teaching safely at a distance with you! Whether it's extra help with your high school curriculum, preparing for college or a career, or further development with essential skills, I have experience in teaching multiple subjects to thousands of students of vast abilities and skills. My positive attitude and interactions are a reflection of the joy I experience while spending my time working with students and families on a daily basis.

I hold an English Degree with a focus in Linguistics and a Master's Degree in the Arts of Teaching. As a full-time teacher, I have taught English Language Arts for grades 9-12 for 15 years, as well as other subjects like yearbook/journalism, leadership and student government, essential skills classes, college and career readiness courses, advised extra-curricular activities, and coached team sports. My specialty is English Language Development, writing mechanics and grammar, literature and composition, speaking and listening skills development, and project-based learning and assessments.

If you are willing to struggle a little and learn a lot, and if you are interested in working with someone who can help you improve your skills and meet your goals, then I encourage you to connect with me as soon as possible so we can decide if we would like to move forward in a teaching and learning partnership.
