"Hello!

My name is Kelly. I am a certified teacher with a degree in Elementary Education. I have over 14 years' experience working with preschool and school age children. Three of those years were spent teaching ESL in South Korea. In addition to this, I also have some experience working with children who have emotional and sensory difficulties. I know that patience, understanding, and flexibility are key elements with any student. If a student is losing focus or having difficulty with a topic, the need to take a short break or a change in topic maybe deemed necessary.

I adapt curriculum to meet my students’ needs by incorporating their interests and relevant life skills into their learning. For instance, when learning about money, a student goes a “shopping” with catalogs to buy chosen items with their “money.” This activity allows them to learn addition, subtraction, decimal points, handling money etc. in a more personable and meaningful way.

So whether you are four or ninety-four and looking for some additional help in your learning process, contact me today!" less...
