I'm Kelly, a dedicated teacher with a true passion for fine arts and language arts. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 15 years now. I received by postgraduate education and teaching experiences in both the United States and the United Kingdom. I have professional experience exhibiting my own artworks internationally. I enjoy sharing my experiences of visiting art galleries and museums in Europe, East Africa, the USA, and Asia. I have a passion for creative writing, and I like to communicate this excitement for writing to my students. I love to check my students' understanding of material through formative assessment. I have had great success with my students, ranging from elementary school to college, and non-traditional students. I have taught students in general education and students that received special education services. One of my greatest strengths is finding creative approaches to enable all students to progress in their learning. In various teaching and support capacities, I have worked for education businesses, education non-profits, in public schools, and at a university. I've had certification as an art teacher (elementary through high school). I have received content certifications in various subjects at the high school level. I have received both special education adapted curriculum and general curriculum certifications. I have experience teaching elementary and middle school students in a variety of subjects. To assist students in reading, I have utilized Distar approaches, and I have been trained in Orton-Gillingham approaches to reading instruction. I leave room for my students to surpass all expectations that anyone has ever had for them. I love encouraging my students along their learning journey. I truly believe in my students! Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson.
