Kelly: Dolton tutor
Certified Tutor
I believe that everyone can learn. It's not a question of ability, but of finding the right way to reach each student. Every learner is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. As a teacher and tutor, my job is to figure out how each student learns best and to adapt my approach to meet their needs.
I am passionate about helping students discover their strengths and build confidence in their abilities. Whether a student learns through visuals, hands-on activities, repetition, or conversation, I believe it's my responsibility to uncover that method and use it to help them grow. Watching students have that "aha" momentwhen something clicks for the first timeis incredibly rewarding, and it's one of the main reasons I love what I do.
For me, teaching and tutoring are about more than just academics. It's about connection, patience, and creating a safe, encouraging space where students feel seen and supported. I want students to know that they are capable, that mistakes are part of learning, and that with the right support, they can succeed.

I have a wide range of hobbies and interests that reflect both my creativity and curiosity. I’m a proud dog lover, and I enjoy spending time with my furry companions. I’m a big fan of pop culture, especially Star Wars, Star Trek, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, as well as childhood favorites like Winnie the Pooh and Scooby-Doo. I love cooking and baking, often experimenting with new recipes, and I have a special fondness for the color purple in all its shades. In my quieter moments, I enjoy reading and practicing yoga, which help me relax and recharge. I’m also fascinated by true crime and forensics, and I appreciate unwinding with a good glass of wine at the end of the day.
