About Me

I have over ten years of tutoring and teaching experience at the college and grade school levels. As a PhD Linguist, I have a solid understanding of phonetics, second language acquisition, and cross-linguistic differences. I am also experienced with training students for American standardized tests including the SAT, ACT and GRE. These tests require endurance and confidence as well as fundamental skills, which means that all these components have to be learned, practiced, and nurtured equally for a student to achieve a truly excellent score. At the Yale Autism Clinic, I have worked with special needs children on academic achievement. Additionally, I have worked as a homework helper for both low and high achieving students.

Q&A with Kelly

I use a wide range of techniques to get students interested in the material and their futures. As a teacher, I try to be low-key and approachable to gain a student's trust and instill a desire to impress. Nevertheless, I am strict about homework and performance. I am experienced in tutoring younger students in all subject areas from math and science to reading and writing. I find it most satisfying to train people of all ages how to excel academically.
