Hi, I’m Kristen! I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with a Public Relations emphasis and I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis. I am also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and Qualified Mental Health Associate (QMHA-R).

I have worked with students from early elementary through age 19, in both one-on-one and small group settings, helping with reading comprehension, writing, grammar, and study skills. In my professional roles, I regularly support learners with diverse needs, including autism and ADHD, using evidence-based practices and positive reinforcement to encourage progress.

My approach is simple: I start by identifying what motivates each student and use positive reinforcement to build confidence as they develop new skills. I break reading and writing into manageable steps so that learning feels achievable, not overwhelming. Parents often notice that once students feel successful, they become more motivated and engaged in their work.

I specialize in:

Language Arts Tutoring (K–12): reading comprehension, grammar, essay writing, creative writing

Study Skills Coaching: organization, time management, confidence-building strategies

Mentoring for Tweens & Teens: encouragement, motivation, and accountability alongside academics

Whether your child needs help catching up, staying motivated, or building strong study habits, I bring patience, structure, and encouragement to every session.

Approved Subjects

Grammar

Grammar

For over six years, I’ve worked one-on-one with children to strengthen their communication and learning skills. My grammar lessons are simple, encouraging, and focused on building understanding step by step so kids feel capable and proud of their writing.
Handwriting

Handwriting

With six years of experience working closely with children, I focus on helping students feel confident and relaxed while improving their handwriting. My sessions include fun, easy practice that builds control, neatness, and pride in their work.
Phonics

Phonics

I’ve spent about six years working one-on-one with kids to help them build communication and early learning skills. My phonics lessons use simple steps, lots of encouragement, and hands-on practice to help sounds and words really click.
