Hi, I'm Kelli, and I am excited to be returning to the Tandem family for my second year as the 5th–8th Grade Language teacher!

My husband, Glenn, and I are both proud Arizona natives and have been married for 19 years. We have been blessed with two amazing daughters. Berlin, 17, is going into her junior year of high school and loves horseback riding and photography. Kennedi, 13, is our spunky redhead who lives for dance and brings so much joy and energy to our family.

As a family, we love to travel, spend time in the mountains of Heber, Arizona, and visit the beach whenever we can. Those adventures have created some of our favorite memories together.

From the beginning, I knew I wanted to homeschool my children, and God has faithfully made a way for me to stay home and invest in their education. While homeschooling hasn't always been easy and has required flexibility along the way, it has been one of the greatest blessings for our family. Watching my daughters learn, grow, and experience the many opportunities homeschooling has provided has been incredibly rewarding.

Teaching Language allows me to share my love of reading, writing, and communication while helping students grow in confidence and develop skills that will serve them for years to come. I am so thankful to be returning to the Tandem community and look forward to partnering with families as we encourage students to grow academically, personally, and spiritually throughout the school year.
