My daughter, now in middle school, loves math because of Kellie.  In fact, it’s not uncommon to have classmates call her in the evening for help with their own math and to hear things like, “What is your picture-maker?” or “What’s the greatest house both of those numbers live in?” Things were rough for years as we navigated learning disabilities and executive function deficits.  She is highly intelligent but could not learn math the way it was being taught in any curriculum.  I initially contacted Kellie to help with fractions, and quickly learned that my daughter’s concept of long division was shaky because she was relying only on procedures that were cognitively intensive and had not been anchored with an authentic understanding of how division worked.  Kellie connected with my daughter and structured each lesson in a way that generated authentic success.  My child learned to trust Kellie and soon found that math didn’t hurt anymore.  I’m so grateful that I found Kellie and listened to her advice.  She understood that the struggles my child experienced were rooted in gaps that needed to be addressed before the next layer of math could be added.  She is thorough, patient, engaging, and in my opinion, one of the top 5 math educators in California.  My daughter’s future shines brightly because of the investment of resources that we made to have this exceptional educator work diagnostically with my child.  Kellie provides clinical, diagnostic math intervention tailor made to the child in front of her and the outcomes are nothing short of miraculous.  Thank you, Kellie, for helping to set my child’s future on a trajectory of endless possibility.
