"Every student -- regardless of age, ability level, performance history, or socioeconomic background -- can develop habits of effort and determination, achieve at a high level, and learn to love learning."
My name is Kelly Richardson and I teach English -- including reading, writing, grammar, comprehension, standardized testing, literature, poetry, and business communications -- in an unforgettable online learning environment.
I have over 10 years of teaching and leadership experience with students at every ability level -- inbcluding special needs, ESOL, general, advanced, Honors, and AP.
I apply explicit knowledge of best practices in curriculum and instruction, management and motivation, and instructional technology.
I hold a Bachelor's Degree (BA) in English (1999) and Master's Degree (MA) in English Education (2001) from Georgia State University; and, an Educational Specialist Degree (EdS) in Curriculum/Instruction (2010) from Lincoln Memorial University.
My lessons are student-focused and technolgically-driven, with a special emphasis on patience, fun, and retention. I routinely form close bonds with my students using healthy doses of protection, direction, and correction -- while always offering encouragement for victories large and small.
I'm the English teacher you're looking for if you, or your student, is ready to excel in pre-K, elementary school, middle school, high school, college/university, standardized testing preparation (PSAT/SAT/ACT), or GED/adult learning.
I will believe in you, or your student, when it seems that no one else does -- and, I will connect in a way that is meaningful, understandable, and memorable so that learning becomes second nature.
I offer single lessons and discounted block lessons in an online learning environment that allows you, or your student, to learn from the comfort and privacy of your own home on a schedule that is most convenient for you -- and, your first one-hour lesson is absolutely FREE! Read less
