Shelly Sharp
Math Teacher
Shelly Sharp joined the Geneva faculty in 2016 and currently teaches math to seventh graders and an elective cartography class to rhetoric students. This year marks Shelly’s eleventh year teaching at Geneva and her twenty-seventh year of teaching overall. She previously taught fourth grade at TGS for nine years.
A Florida Keys native, Shelly graduated from the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!) with a bachelor’s in education. After college, she taught various grade levels from first through eighth in both public and private schools in Florida, Tennessee, and Kentucky. In 2010, Shelly joined Classical Conversations as a tutor, where she fell in love with the classical model of education. She continued to tutor for the next three years, and in 2014 became a director of Classical Conversations in Seattle, WA, where she started a thriving community. In 2015, she started another new Classical Conversations group in the Chattanooga, TN, area before moving to Orlando and joining the TGS faculty.
Shelly and her husband, Ryan, married in 1999 and have five children, born in three different states. Working full-time and raising five children is somewhat prohibitive of free time, but when Shelly does have a few moments to herself, she loves to do anything outside: hiking, walking, fishing, camping, swimming, and gardening—just to name a few things.
