About
Hi, my name is Kellie and I live in West Bend, WI with my husband, three young children, my dog, Lula and our bearded dragon named Drake.
I have a passion for education and have spent my entire pro... fessional career working in higher education in varying administrative roles while tutoring on the side. I like tutoring because it creates a safe space for students to learn about a subject that may be more challenging for them. We are all good at different things! I firmly believe that with patience, time, and individual consideration for how each student learns best, success can be achieved!
I have worked in Student Services for over a decade and am strong in building rapport with students and their families. I am very much a "people person" and look forward to helping you achieve the success you seek!read more
