About Kelly
Hi, I’m Kelly, an experienced Reading & Writing educator and test prep specialist with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience.
I hold a Master’s degree in English as a Second Language and am certified in General Education, Special Education, and Literacy. My background in literacy and structured instruction allows me to break down complex reading passages, writing tasks, and grammar concepts into clear, manageable strategies.
Over the years, I’ve worked with students at many different skill levels, from those who feel overwhelmed by standardized tests to strong students who simply want to maximize their scores. I understand that test prep isn’t just about content knowledge — it’s about clarity, structure, and confidence.
My approach combines:
• Clear strategy instruction
• Pattern recognition in test questions
• Structured reading and writing systems
• Thoughtful feedback
• Confidence-building support
I focus on helping students understand how tests are designed, why certain answer choices are correct, and how to avoid common traps. When strategy becomes clear, performance improves naturally.
I believe no one is “bad” at Reading & Writing; they just haven’t been shown the right system yet. My goal is to provide that system in a way that feels structured, supportive, and empowering.

Standardized tests aren’t just about how smart you are; they’re about knowing how the test works.
A lot of students feel stuck on Reading & Writing exams because no one has shown them clear strategies for managing time, breaking down passages, or spotting tricky answer choices. That doesn’t mean you’re bad at English. It just means you haven’t been taught the right approach yet.
My sessions focus on helping you understand exactly how tests like the SAT and other Reading & Writing exams are structured, so you can stop guessing and start answering with confidence.
In our lessons, we work on:
• Breaking down reading passages step-by-step
• Finding evidence quickly and efficiently
• Recognizing common trap answers
• Mastering grammar rules that show up again and again
• Improving essay organization and clarity
• Managing time without rushing
• Building confidence under timed conditions
Each session starts with a quick check-in and a review of what we’re focusing on. We look at patterns in mistakes, figure out why they’re happening, and fix them with clear strategies.
You won’t just “practice more.”
You’ll learn how to think through the test.
We’ll do timed practice together, analyze questions in detail, and create a repeatable system that works for you. Over time, you’ll start noticing:
• Faster reading
• Fewer second guesses
• Clearer writing
• Better timing
• More confidence walking into exams
The goal isn’t just to raise a score; it’s to help you feel prepared and in control.
If test anxiety, confusion, or frustration has been holding you back, that’s okay. With the right structure and strategy, improvement is completely possible.
You don’t have to keep feeling stuck. There’s a system that works, and I’ll show you how to use it.

My daughter has worked with Kelly for the past three years from first grade through third grade. Kelly has been instrumental in helping my daughter improve her reading and comprehension skills. Kelly got to know my daughter and her needs very quickly and created a plan to help her get to the next level. Kelly also put in the extra effort by communicating constantly with me and my daughter’s teachers. She was flexible when we had to change our meeting time and always showed up with a pleasant demeanor. We love working with Kelly and she has really helped my daughter achieve the skills necessary for her grade level!
