"Hi! My name is Kelly and I'd love to help your child succeed in the subject of math. I have been teaching for 30 years and have a knack for explaining concepts in "plain English" so students can understand. I, myself, am a visual learner so I love to teach with manipulatives and real-life, hands-on materials. I homeschooled both my daughters and my oldest one is now a teacher herself! I taught many math more...
"Hi! My name is Kelly and I'd love to help your child succeed in the subject of math. I have been teaching for 30 years and have a knack for explaining concepts in "plain English" so students can understand. I, myself, am a visual learner so I love to teach with manipulatives and real-life, hands-on materials. I homeschooled both my daughters and my oldest one is now a teacher herself! I taught many math classes in homeschool co-ops but before that I taught kindergarten and, later, 5th and 6th grade math at Westminster School in Annandale. I love to get kids excited about math!
While teaching math I set up our school's first Math Club which was very popular with students. We explored interesting areas of math such as 3D geometry, fractals, tesselations, math in nature and more! One of my daughters is on the Autism spectrum so over the years I've developed patience and can also teach organization skills.
While math is my passion, as a homeschool mom I also taught English (grammar, writing, literature) as well as geography, history, science and even art! I love to read, paint, and create in my spare time.
One last note I'd like you to know is that for 15 years I wrote standardized test questions in the subject of math for several test writing companies. I have In-depth knowledge of SOLs and standardized tests and can help your child with test anxiety and preparing for upcoming tests.
Please let me know if you have any questions!" less...
