Kellie
Creative, Experiential Tutor specializing in Writing and Test Prep.
Experiential and multimodal learning is essential to my teaching and tutoring practices.

Kellie has really helped our son prepare for the English portion of the SAT/ACT. Although he still wants to get a higher score, he received a very strong score on his first test! She is very aware of what is currently on these tests and does similar practices along with helpful strategies so that the students have the best shot.

Kellie C. was consistently prompt with her responses to me as I sought to locate a tutor. It was easy to set up a first appointment and she was on time and ready to get to work when we arrived. She was extremely well prepared for our session. She did a great job of connecting with our student, assessing where to get started and helping us to make the most of our time with her. During our meeting, she was positive, encouraging, and gave feedback that was motivating for our student. The information and guidance she provided was helpful and just what was needed. Our student left feeling excited about the material and ready to get to work. We plan to meet with her again.

Kellie is tutoring my daughter in preparation of the ACT test this fall and she has exceeded our expectations! She is approachable, and has a great sense of humor. She has the skill to pinpoint where a student needs help, and the tools to educate and direct from there.

Kellie has only worked with my daughter twice but already she has been such a HUGE help! She is congenial, wise, and thorough. She makes great suggestions and has a wealth of expertise in study habits and skills. She also has a wonderful style that really gets my daughter to buckle down and think. We are so fortunate to have found her!
