What do people say?

“Thank you for being a wonderful person! You are an amazing teacher as well as a friend to me and my mom. You go out of your way to do things that most teachers wouldn’t. You’re also super thoughtful and understanding. I am extremely grateful that you were my teacher (and hopefully in the future too!). You are super smart and made learning fun for me. To that I say, Thank You again.”

“We wanted to thank you so much for everything you did to help Malachi! From keeping Malachi on track, giving him confidence, and being flexible with our schedule to pushing him to accomplish more and do better, you always went above and beyond! We will always remember our homebound teacher, but we are glad we made a friend along the way! Hard work pays off. You gave my son hope and now he is going to college!”

"Kelley is a remarkable teacher and educational partner! My high school son had given up on school and due to medical issues was enrolled in the district’s homebound program. She has a  unique way of reaching your child. She finds a way to understand them. She teaches them to be organized and engages them in their learning. My son has ADHD and anxiety, she understands him. She understood my stress. She helped us both. Made us a team. My son doesn't want to quit anymore. Kelley was able to show my son he is smart! She is everything and more you could ask for in a teacher. Thank you, Kelley, for everything!"
