Hello! My name is Kelsey Thornton. My sweet friends on Outschool like to call me Ms. Kelsey. I love teaching Montessori lessons, especially Math and Science lessons! I also love to talk about Music, and play around on Chrome Music Lab. I am also a YouTube content creator with my own page, Online Adventures With Kelsey.

I have had 17 years of experience with children. 3 years as a Brick and Mortar Montessori trained teacher (My Early Childhood credential training was under the American Montessori Society). I also have 1.5 years experience as an ESL online teacher. I also have a Bachelor of Science degree in Multidisciplinary Studies (with my main focus in Music Education). 

My philosophy on teaching is following the child on their learning interests and understanding that all children learn new concepts in different ways. My approach to teaching is using the Montessori Method with some of the Montessori materials as well. This is definitely beneficial for younger students (ages 3-6 years old) as they are in their “Absorbent Mind” stage of their lives, where they are able to absorb everything they are learning with ease. I want to be able to provide for you and your family a safe approach to learning the Montessori Method all in the comfort of your own home. I love transferring this method into other ways of teaching others, including in music and content creating.

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Christian, for six years now. We have one cat (Bones) and two dogs (Brute and Miracle). My husband and I love to play board games and video games in our spare time and try new foods out at local restaurants, too!
