About Chelsey

I'm a professional artist, and 2012 graduate of The New School. I hold a BA in Creative Writing, and a BFA in Illustration. For the last decade, I've worked extensively in early education as a childcare provider and tutor, using a creative and arts-based framework as part of my guidance philosophy. I specialize in helping children with learning differences and behavioral issues, and feel confident creating structure for kids that need it most! Imagination & resourcefulness are my best tools, and I enjoy working closely with pre-k through middle school age children. I'm passionate about fostering that initial 'spark' of possibility and autonomous learning - patience and consistency is key. At a higher level, I've lectured and taught at Pratt (Pre-College courses), Parsons, and Hunter College. I tutor in high school English for private school students. Most recently, I worked as a tutor/after school activity organizer within an elementary school learning pod of 6 children.
