Hello, my name is Kristyn-Anne! I am originally from New York, then attended the University of Rhode Island where I got my Bachelors degree in Marketing and graduated Summa Cum Laude. When my husband and I moved to Anchorage, Alaska, I went back to school to pursue my love of teaching and learning at Alaska Pacific University, getting my teaching degree and Master of Arts in Teaching.

Hello, my name is Kristyn-Anne! I am originally from New York, then attended the University of Rhode Island where I got my Bachelors degree in Marketing and graduated Summa Cum Laude. When my husband and I moved to Anchorage, Alaska, I went back to school to pursue my love of teaching and learning at Alaska Pacific University, getting my teaching degree and Master of Arts in Teaching. I began teaching there in Anchorage in 2010, working at a child development center and substitute teaching in the public school district.

When we moved back to the East Coast, I taught for 11 years in urban middle schools in Rhode Island. My certifications are elementary education, middle school English, and PK-12 English to Speakers of Other Languages. I have worked with children from 6 weeks - 18 years of age in school settings, and have also taught adult English classes for speakers of other languages.

My specialties and area of focus are English Language Arts and English for Multilingual Learners (MLLs), however, as an MLL teacher I have co-taught in all core subjects, including Science, Math and Social Studies. I have also taught all core subjects at the elementary level. I have experience working with large classes, small groups, and one on one. I enjoy getting to know my students and their particular learning styles in order to make material meaningful for them. It is important to me that there is a blend of rigor and humor/personal connection so that there is true understanding of the concepts. I look forward to working with you!

Approved Subjects

Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a certified Elementary Education Teacher for grades K-6 with experience teaching in public schools. I have worked in the classroom, in a child development center, summer programs, after school tutoring, Saturday school, and in homeschool settings. I am also a mom of 3 kids in grades 3, 6, and 11! I have 3 years experience as a substitute/long-term sub in elementary school (including extensive time in 2nd, 5th and 6th graders) and 11 years experience as a classroom teacher. In my 8 years as an ESL teacher, I worked one on one and in small group pull out settings to help make content accessible for all learners. I like get to know my students' individual learning styles, then present the content in a way that makes sense to them - whether that is setting information to the tune of a song, creating mnemonic devices to help remember important pieces of information, hand gestures or movement for kinesthetic learners, stories or demonstrations, etc. - I truly believe that all students can learn; we just have to find the best way for them!
English

English

I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching and am a certified teacher licensed to teach Elementary Education (K-6), middle grades English (5-8), and English to Speakers of Other Languages (PK-12). I completed a year long Proficiency level training in the Right to Read science of reading and structured literacy training program. I have been teaching since 2010 with the majority of that time serving as a middle school English teacher. I have found that a blend of structure/routines mixed with humor and instructional techniques paired with students' learning styles creates an engaging environment that helps students feel comfortable enough to take educational risks while still pushing them to expand their capabilities. I try to share my lifelong love of learning with students, helping them to see the intrinsic rewards that come along with education!
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching and am a certified teacher licensed to teach Elementary Education (K-6), middle grades English (5-8), and English to Speakers of Other Languages (PK-12). I completed a year long Proficiency level training in the Right to Read science of reading and structured literacy training program. I have been teaching since 2010 with 8 of those years teaching Multilingual Learners (MLL). As an MLL/ESL teacher, I have taught speakers of many other languages, some with completely different alphabets and/or older students with limited or interrupted formal schooling, how to read, write, speak, and listen in English. It has reinforced for me how important it is to have a blend of a systematic, science backed approach to literacy instruction while also blending in authentic literacy opportunities with lively texts that appeal to students' interests. While the majority of my time working with MLL/ESL students has been at the middle school level, I have also taught adult ESL classes. It is incredibly rewarding work, and I love learning about other languages and cultures alongside my students!
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I am a certified English teacher with a love of all things reading and writing. I have a Masters of Arts in Teaching and more than 10 years of experience teaching essay writing. With a strong grasp of grammar, sentence conventions, and vocabulary, along with an individual approach, I am able to help students find their "voice." My training with different writing approaches such as 6 Traits, RACES, and Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) allows me to provide students with a solid foundation for writing conventions and to provide structure for those struggling to get started. For more advanced writers looking to hone their craft, I use my teaching experience along with my personal passion for writing to help them put their touch and find their own unique expression.

Whenever a student has told me that they "don't like to read," I ensure them that they just haven't found the right book yet!

I always tell my students that vocabulary is one of the key indicators of success. With a strong vocabulary, your reading comprehension and writing skills increase drastically! I help students expand their repertoire of language through authentic reading, writing, speaking and listening exercises, use of mnemonic devices, picture/word association, etc.
