Why choose Kelly's Reading and Math Club?

Online Tutor
Hi! My name is Clare, and I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor of Education at the University of Ottawa, working toward my goal of becoming an elementary school teacher. I joined Kelly's Reading Club in January 2025 and have absolutely loved being part of a program that makes learning fun and engaging. Kelly’s teaching style is inspiring! I have a wide range of experience working with children, including roles in summer camps, au pairing in Australia, and various peer mentoring positions. These opportunities have helped me develop strong communication and leadership skills, as well as a deep passion for helping kids grow. I truly enjoy creating positive learning environments where children feel confident and supported. When I was a kid, my favourite books were anything by Robert Munsch and the Junie B. Jones series, I loved the humour and imagination in every story! I’m so excited to help your child build their own love of learning.
