About Me

I have been teaching at the college level since 1990. I have taught courses in English, History, and Humanities. I have taught at schools all over the country, and at both single sex and co-ed institutions. I have also worked as Director of a college Writing Studio. Recently I have begun working with middle and high school aged students who are homeschooled--teaching essay writing, literature, and history online or through homeschool co-ops. I also have experience with test prep, including the SAT/ACT and entrance exams for post-college study.

Q&A with Kelly

Finding a way to connect that topic to something the student is already interested in can be helpful. For example, if a student loves the Harry Potter books, showing what that series took from early literature might help make a connection to Medieval or Renaissance works. What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material? Asking a student to explain a concept to me. If he or she can "teach" me about it, then understanding has probably been achieved.
