Struggling Writers - One on One Tutor Essay /General Writing Support Instruction

Hello, I'm Mrs. Kelly!  I teach a variety of fine art, language arts, science, and special education/struggling learner classes on Outschool! I have been been teaching and tutoring for 14 years now. I received my postgraduate education and teaching experiences in both the United States and the United Kingdom. I have had great success with my students, ranging from elementary school to university level, and non-traditional students. I have taught students in general education and students that receive special education services. One of my greatest strengths is finding creative approaches to enable all students to progress in their learning.

I have been teaching since 2006. In various teaching and support capacities, I have worked for educational businesses, educational non-profits, in public schools, and at a University. I am a certified art teacher (elementary through high school). My current certifications include art, language arts, science, K-8 social studies, elementary education, and special education.  I truly believe in my students. I leave room for my students to surpass all expectations that anyone has ever had for them. I love to support and congratulate my students along their learning journey.

My education includes a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art from Atlanta College of Art. I spent time studying abroad in France. I spent a semester creating art and studying in New York City during my undergrad time. I completed a postgraduate course in experimental video in Owega, New York. I received my Master's of Arts (Fine Art) degree from the University for Creative Arts in the United Kingdom. Upon returning to the USA, I completed all of my postgraduate coursework in special education (at Piedmont College in Georgia) and gained my public school teaching certifications. I have exhibited my own painting, drawing, sculpture, and collage artworks around the world. I have received a number of education and exhibition awards, including the Gene Alcott Award.

On a more personal note, I spend my time outside of teaching practicing yoga, learning French, traveling, researching a variety of topics, visiting parks, watching films, reading books, photographing nature scenes/animals, and creating artworks.

I look forward to seeing your child in class, and I can't wait to have the privilege of teaching them!
