Hello there!  My name is Kelli and I live in the Finger Lakes area of New York state.  I am a middle school math teacher with over 20 years of experience.  I have taught in many different settings:  public school, private school, online, and tutoring to individuals and small groups.  While math is my specialty, I also enjoy English (reading and grammar) and history.  I also hope to teach some other non-academic subjects in the very near future.

I believe every student can learn if given the right guidance.  My goal is to make every student feel comfortable in my classroom.  I was once a struggling math student, and I remember how that feels.  I think that has made me a better teacher.  I've had many students tell me that I explain things in a way they can understand, and I take that as a huge compliment.

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family.  Summer is my favorite season, and I love all that comes with it; swimming, walking by the lake, bonfires, working in the yard and just hanging out outside.

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you soon in the classroom!
