“Kelsey has been amazing with our kids. She is calm and nurturing, picking out appropriate level sheets for the lessons and making the “homework” fun for the kids. With each new assignment, the kids learn more and more, but don’t get frustrated and overwhelmed—they are excited that they can see and HEAR their progress.”— Maggie R.
