Hello,

I'm Teacher Ely!  I am very excited for the opportunity to teach your child on Outschool. I hold a Master's degree in Business Administration, with a concentration in Human Resources.  I also earned my Esthetician license and love anything about skin, makeup, and spa. I started teaching on the Outschool platform since August of 2020 and have already had the privilege of teaching 480+ students. In addition, I have taught English as a secondary language to students between ages 3-13 for the last year. I also homeschooled my 2 children and have had the opportunity to teach in various co-op homeschool gatherings with children ages 0-10. This has allowed me to develop effective communication, with an emphasis on structure, expectations, objectives, teachable moments, and using three key components: visual, presentation, and hands-on approach. It is very important to bring a variety of components into the classroom because not every child learns the same way or at the same pace. 

My goal is to ensure that every student in my classroom has the ability to gain knowledge, whether that is scaffolding down to meet your child's needs or extending the concepts for more advanced learners.  Each student in my class is equally important, and I strive to ensure that your child will learn in my classroom.  There is a balance to learning; it is all about keeping your child engaged in the lesson and eager to learn more. 

One fun fact about me is that I have moved 12 times in the last nine years. I look forward to seeing your child in my classroom!
