Hi there!  My name is Ms. Kelly and I am currently teaching elementary STEM.  I graduated from Southwest Missouri State University with a Bachelor's degree in secondary education, in Latin, Speech, and Theatre/Acting.  I also completed premedical studies and spent 26 years in healthcare.  My talents and hobbies include writing, ceramics, and gardening, and I am an award-winning amateur photographer.  With my passions in mind, I teach phonics, spelling, and writing to our young kids, science and writing to middle schoolers, and Latin to all ages including high schoolers.  I also have a lot of experience with gifted children and their unique educational needs.

Also, as a mom of three ADHD boys, I know that sitting still and listening doesn't equate to learning.  Kids learn best when they're moving and having fun, so humor and silliness play a big role in all my classes, so expect classes that are interactive and upbeat, in order to keep the kids engaged.  I hope to see your learners in class soon!
